So, can you come up with one good reason why BE+AE (British English -
American English) is OK and TC+SC is not?

I have seen quite a number of brand names now beginning to have TC-SC mix in
HK.  My point is that TC and SC are no longer simply a straight mapping of
each other, or in technical terms a compatible character or simply a
different script.  Each character in the Chinese repertoire is becoming a
character of its own right, the line between TC-SC is starting to blur.
They are all "Chinese Characters".
