This needs to be addressed in a rulemaking if you want it changed. I've
never liked the rule either, frankly

This looks like a public announcement of a fraud upon the United States
of America. Here is a non-citizen/non-resident illegally using an USA
address to falsely apply for a U.S. Call sign. 
Especially in Guam and Saipan where most Extra class preferred
2X1 calls are held by foreigners who may only go there one weekend every
couple of years to work a contest or in the case of DU ops applying for
a U.S. call NEVER actually leave their own country.
The FCC allows foreigners to be tested in their own country by their own
countrymen who are VE's but have never stepped foot on U.S. soil to
receive a U.S. Extra Class call. At some of these so called VE sessions
no test is given, only applications filled and money collected. I know,
I was asked to be a VE at one of these sessions and reported the matter
to the FCC but nothing changed.
Go to the RAC CD and take a look at how many KH0 and KH2 2X1 calls are
held by people with Filipino or Japanese sounding names sharing the same
PO Boxes or Mail Box Etc, PMB (private mail box) or Mailex type address.
They rent these boxes long enough to receive their license from the FCC
then allow them to expire or have a friend on the island to pick up
their mail. Some have friends in the USA that allow their address to be
used in this illegal activity. Good luck on ever expecting to get a QSL
card using any of these addresses.
