I believe the list was created to help protect customers from battery of the month wars when batteries were a limiting factor of the class. These rules and foundations carried over to Lipo because they worked. The change is that Lipo is no longer a limiting factor of off-road racing. Who knows what will happen.
Many many many companies make lipo's for the BRCA rules, as they're the 99% similar to worldwide governing bodies rules, the main differences been in availability rules . As a collective of worldwide governing bodies I'd suggest that yes, they are the centre of the hobby car lipo market.
And yes, UK availability is important. Back in the day when you needed the best batteries, imagine if the ones you needed weren't available in the UK, and importing them was incredibly expensive? That'd be off putting to customers!
