Like I said - "This bug is considered an exploit and therefore it is against the rules to use."

Exploits aren't allowed. If a bug isn't considered an exploit and isn't explicitly against the rules they are fine to use them.

I wonder who sets these rules? Like when wave dashing came to the competitive super smash bros scene, who decided that this would be allowed or banned? It seems to me it would depend how widespread it is. Maybe the tournament runners already knew how to wave dash so it was in their interest to keep this technique they already mastered legal, versus if they didn't know how to do it yet they might have banned it, like how they've been so careful to empirically place each character into different tiers for the sake of balance.

I can see how leaning into exploits for competitive can ruin the noncompetitive community, and later take out the competitive one that feeds off this community. I used to play chivalry: medieval warefare, which was a lot more fun of a game before the competitive community figured out the frame perfect meta and ruined the game for everyone else who doesn't have hours and hours of free time to throw at practicing the metagame alone, which is most gamers I imagine.

The tournament organizer chooses the rules.
