I think the support planet rule is a sad relict of the 1up vs eXi wars where exilition just tried a bit too hard to win by "having friends with viper fleets" and 1up was too convincing towards PA-Team to get them closed and get a rule in place to stop support planets.

Now that we have hardly any alliance competition left anyway it is used to hunt down a few out of tag scanners and make everyone worry about their ingame actions.

Support planets were annoying in the round when the rule was set in place but now it's the rule which is the problem.
