I can see why the rule is that way. If the infield fly was in the vicinity of a bag, that puts the runner in a bad spot. If he moves off of the bag to avoid touching the ball, he runs the risk of the fielder intentionally dropping the ball and tagging him out. But I do admit I don't ever think I've seen that rule come into play.
