I think they simply want to avoid that people get easily a H-1B in academia (without a cap) and then switch immediately to industry. That would be an easy way around the H-1B cap. And if you start in industry than you were already once under the cap so it is fair not to be under the cap if you move within the industry. I would say this rule is pretty fair overall
