Not to speak for MC, but the answer is likely the same as everything else that requires judicial review: different situations require different applications, different people perform the application, etc.
In other words - why require a judge to rule on anything? After all, the laws are there in black and white ... particularly with something that is as serious as treason, you will naturally have this.

That is a pretty broad brush they painted with.

That application, no matter how broad, isn't at odds with MC's estimation of this specific case at all, I don't think.
It's probably not correct to think that because a "broad" interpretation was taken in one dissimilar instance that another broad interpretation (in another direction) would thus be appropriate. You can only apply like to like.
