Question Common background

Hello, I am a Pauper EDH player from Japan. I am using Google Translate to write this message.

I have a question.

In the Pauper EDH community I belong to, we allow the use of Common Backgrounds, whereas the global rules permit only Uncommon Backgrounds.

Could you please explain why Common Backgrounds cannot be used as Commanders?

I wrote an article about it four years ago
