You are the one who is confused, if you think changing the rules and making people exempt from the rules is the same thing.
Changing the rules doesn't necessarily make someone exempt from them. It can do, if that is the purpose of the rule change. However, in the case of the Superlicence, all that's being asked is for the rules to be changed, so there is a more level playing field for IndyCar drivers, not for IndyCar drivers be exempt from the rules. You say it's been extensively reported, however I have yet to come across anything that is calling for IndyCar drivers to be exempt from the Superlicence rules.

Out of that list, possibly O'Ward and Palou, as they are with AMSP.

You are incorrect. Top end IndyCar drivers don't automatically qualify for a Superlicence, they need to have accrued 40 points. Now in the case of drivers like Dixon and Power, they will have achieved that, due to how long they have been racing in IndyCar.
