There were others that were within reach of that top spot that thought the accommodation went too far.
Of course, the problem wasn't the unfairness of the accommodation: it was the unfairness of the original test, which required a high output speed when that wasn't what was supposed to be assessed (presumably - I presume it (a) because the accommodation was provided and (b) because fast handwriting is basically never required these days; if you wanted fast output you'd want fast typing). Sometimes that kind of factor gets baked in by tradition and needs to be challenged...
