Do Beetleweight follow these rules?

I get the feeling that if you comply with this you limit the energy in the blade.

In effect yes, this is to try and make sure that machine don't exceed safe limits for the arenas. it is possible to shatter polycarbonate if you hit it hard enough and given some of the chunks that can be ripped off these days by the best spinners that rule combination is in place to help prevent that.
