You missed my point.
Once a combat sport adopts a set of rules for competition, most quality schools are going to concentrate on that set of rules for training. Competition is what drives most arts, not self defense because if you're a Karate guy and you want to test yourself the best way to do this would be to compete in a Karate tournament. And the only smart way to train for a competition is to train within the rule set.
And TKD is one of the most restrictive rule sets of any Martial Arts competition as to where and how you can strike.
