I'd say, rather than 'why is TMO allowed?', a better question would be 'how is a stall not a kite?'.
You kite in a situation when you are not ready, but you want FTE on a mob. It's illegal because you are simply buying time for a login force, rather than allowing a raid force that is ready to pull the target.
Stall tanking or FD hopping both accomplish the same ends through different means, but if it's the motivation behind the kite that makes it illegal in our eyes, and the motivation behind the stall is identical to that of the kite, how are they not the same thing?
If you want to kill the mob, engage the mob. If you don't have enough for the mob, don't engage the mob. Yall dumb?

I agree with what you've said, and I don't see a difference between kiting and stalling, and thusly I don't see how DA tanking is not stalling.
I used TMO as an example because I've been seeing a lot of this behaviour from them lately and they have an established history of using such tactics, be it during Trak, kiting dragons, or more recently the DT cycle shenanigans at CT.
How do people keep getting away with having 1-2 people occupy a raid target for 30+ seconds while they get more people logged in and have that not be considered stalling? Inquiring minds..
