Another reason for not allowing some berk from TVL entry in to your home is that they're not exactly technical experts.
For example my TV isn't connected to my freeview aerial, but is connected to a freesat box that's connected to a dish, ergo I need a licence as I can receive live broadcasts.
Now, If I were to disconnect that freesat box from the dish, but keep it connected to the TV as it does media streaming, would a TVL berk really understand the distinction?
