Are you sure?  I thought it did allow castlings, but only when the kings
and rooks start out at the same positions as in normal chess. I apologize
if I was wrong about this.

I don't see why this subset/superset stuff has any interest except
when writing a computer program, though. I also don't understand how
anyone can consider FRC not to be a chess variant.
