Because that is odd?
Under FSA2013 the only AR-15 in .223/5.56 caliber that is legal to purchase, sell or transfer has to be HBAR/heavy barrel because all AR-15s in .223/5.56 are banned except the Colt HBAR sporter, which is allowed by name. Copies of named firearms are also banned or allowed as applicable.
Nope. 100% true. Also an ar pistol is legal with any caliber/profile, NFA rules still apply with some additional restrictions.

Nowhere in the law does it specify caliber for an AR-15.
So ALL AR-15s or imitations are banned.
And while the AG has put out guidance on a COPY, an IMITATION is not the same thing.
MSP seems to be taking the stance that caliber does matter, but that does not make that the law.
The law for the HQL does noit require live fire but it found it's way into COMAR anyway.
More MSP made up law,
More MSP made up law,
I'd argue that the AR-15 and CAR-15 are .223/5.56 rifles. A 6.5 Grendel is built on an AR-15 platform, but is substantially different. A .300AAC blackout is also built on an AR-15 platform, but has a different barrel/chamber.
To me at least, yeah we call them AR-15s if they use an I modified AR-15 lower, but I don't think of them as actual AR-15s, but AR-15 platform rifles. Apparently MSP also takes that view (thank god for a little sanity).
The point in part though is that because the Colt HBAR sported is legal, imitations and copies of it are also legal. The only thing that notably distinguishes a Colt HBAR sported from a regular AR-15 is the use of a heavy barrel. So to be an imitation of the Colt HBAR sported, the rifle would have to be an AR-15 in .223/5.56 with a heavy barrel.
MSP is taking the AG's letter on copies to include the caliber, per AAG Bowen at MSP.
