Given that RCCs and 'decks share some of the same functionalities, the ability of an RCC to accept 'deck mods makes sense. However, a commlink is a different beast, entirely, and it makes sense that the 'link modules are not considered compatible. Given how ubiquitous 'links are, a Rigger who wants to hack without a 'deck would be better off just modding their 'link and leaving the RCC to its normal tasks of slaving drones and such.

That, and I think there was an official response on the matter which warranted the way it works in Hero Labs.
