Possibly because it poisons the well for every other NARCOA member out there, making it harder for them to lawfully organize speeder operations on shortlines due to having a bad reputation? The fact that he is calling this issue out and demonstrating that they are not affiliated with NARCOA allows SC&MB and NARCOA to maintain a friendly working relationship and ensures legal speeder operations on the branch.
Also there's a number of other threads about bootlegging incidents, be it encounters with law enforcement or the plow of a diesel locomotive. So it's a legitimate concern.
