Why do you think so? People need a gateway for exchange and trading.

Because if they are allowed to mine and they can't exchange the coins, it's just Bitcoins staying out of the market in the rest of the world,the supply gets shorter, even if only temporarily, wouldn't that make the coins be worth more elsewhere?
