Why are soccer kicks and stomps illegal in the UFC - your thoughts?

Stomps I can understand why (although I would like to see them in UFC) - when someones head is pined against the mat the whole pressure of the stomp is on the head because it has nowhere else to go. However, soccer kicks are the ground version of high-kicks - the kick impact is similar. Also leg-humpers get no penalty for an unsuccessful take-down attempt.

One other reason that might be a factor is that Dana White wouldn't be able to get sanctioned events in some of the places with Pride-style rules- which are just too much for those gay politicians and average people who know s*h*i*t about mma. I miss the real (full) action.
