I don't know where I read it, but I think I saw somewhere that in fact an exception was made for the main page BECAUSE moving it would be so intrusive for its history and all the links. If you move it, it just creates another problem with lots of deadlinks.
What advantage can be had in moving it instead of following a rule for which exceptions can be made?

There are none really. Not even consitency, because there is another exception that NO one wants moved out of the main name-space, namely the shortcut-redirects (like [[WP:RFA]], [[WP:AFD]], etc.) If we're going to be completely anal about the rules, shouldn't those go aswell? There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to move the main page.
