We are not "allowing" duplication. We're just acknowledging that it might happen and if it does happen, we're better off telling people about the duplicates. If two independent groups inadvertently define "name:" as a URI scheme, but define it differently, should we only let the first one into the registry? First come first served? Even if the second one to attempt registration was first to actually use the scheme name? The proposed registration rules are based on the fact that it is possible to invent and deploy a URI scheme without IANA and IESG approval.
