Default Why are the rules like this?

PokerStars 15/30 Hold'em (4 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

Preflop: Hero is UTG with K[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], K[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img].
<font color="#CC3333">Hero raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button 3-bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">SB caps</font>, <font color="#666666">1 fold</font>, Hero calls, Button calls.

Flop: (13 SB) 9[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], Q[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">SB bets $14 (All-In)</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises $1 to $15</font>, Button calls.

Turn: (7.96 BB) 4[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero 3-bets</font>, Button calls.

River: (13.96 BB) 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(3 players, 1 all-in)</font>
<font color="#CC3333">Hero bets</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises</font>, Hero calls.

Final Pot: 17.96 BB

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
SB has 8c Td (high card, queen).
Hero has Kd Kh (one pair, kings).
Button has 4s 4c (three of a kind, fours).
Outcome: Button wins 17.96 BB. </font>


Ignoring my horrific play....This hand absolutely infuriated me. Is there any good reason why on the flop I should only be allowed to raise 1 freaking dollar? I realize this rule will likely help me as much as it hurts me in the long run (Although, how often do situations like this come up?). Are the rules like this everywhere, or does Stars handle it differently than other sites?
