The main difference between those other activities and trading are that none of them provide an in-game benefit; I cannot make money AND get EXP by watching The Mighty Ducks II.
Frankly if this rule were allowed I'd rather have bazaar put into place where the character is literally stuck in one zone and you'd have to deliver the items to the merchant. With the advent of the new P99 price wiki that Ravhin is working on, pricing wouldn't go out of control if people did some research and the best of both worlds could be attained. The problem is that requires a means to make all of that happen (easily doable) that the staff doesn't want to spend time on because they've already made their decision.
