What advantage can be had in moving it instead of following a rule for which
exceptions can be made?

There are none really. Not even consitency, because there is another
exception that NO one wants moved out of the main name-space, namely
the shortcut-redirects (like [[WP:RFA]], [[WP:AFD]], etc.) If we're
going to be completely anal about the rules, shouldn't those go
aswell? There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to move the main
page.
