Why? To confirm what everyone knows: diesel engines don't rev, so they need more torque (and hence forced induction/bigger displacement) to produce power.

Almost all road diesel engines are turbocharged. Why make rules that mandate technology from the last millenium (i.e., N/A diesel)? That would the same as mandating carburators instead of manifold or direct fuel injection on petrol cars...
