Machines usually are not allowed to play against humans because of the decision
of humans and not because of the decision of the programmers and this is the
point.

No
Programmers are going to be very happy to play in a tournament against humans
for the right to play against kramnik.

The main problem is that the sponsors do not want it.
The machine did not organize the match against kramnik.
Other people who are not the programmers decided to organize the match of
kramnik against Deep Fritz.
