Well that is called Cheating. Any webmaster who does not list a site for reasons he does not state in his rules is a linkback thief. No honest webmaster wants to be listed on any website like that.
And as to actually having it as a rule, the reason for whois protect is to prevent spam and direct mailing. Anyone who actively works against whois protect, is at best encouraging spammers, and at worst a spammer himself. Any webmaster who submits to a LL or TGP that he believes has this rule is a fool, because you are sending your email address to someone you know is likely to sell it. And as your 'submit' email address cannot really use any spam filtering (because many 'confirm' emails contain words that will triggers spam filters) you most definitely don't want that to happen.
