When a hedge fund/market maker takes a short position, and their position turns into failure to deliveries, why are they allowed to just pass that position around between each other (market makers/hedge funds) in order to reset the 13 day clock that should have forced them to cover? If a retail user gets margin called because of their position they can't pass it to another retail user indefinitely so they don't have to fix their situation.
