why cant they just make the new permanent effects not permanent on Commanders? Seems like a pretty reasonable rule to me, Commanders are treated specially already.

In addition to being errata'd text not on the "card" it's probably difficult for the rules to handle. Commanders do have special rules attached to them, but while they are in play there are no different rules to handle them. That means they'd also have to change the game's rules in a very specific and weird way. That change would also result in more fun permanent effects from being applied to Commanders, so they'd be changing the game rules to decrease new, fun ways of playing because two cards are unfun.

And let's be honest, these guys break their game code with nearly every set they add to the game. The last thing they need is to add a bunch of potentially game breaking code just to accommodate two cards.
