It is a draw also if it is a stalemate and the opposing side cannot take the rook. I think that it is not practical to try to define rules to detemine 100% of the cases in complicate endgames like KR vs KN trying to define rules that are correct only for 99% of the cases and saving only the exceptions in the tablebases seems to be more practical.
