That's true, but the difference I see here is that units like the Fire Elemental have special powers that directly penalize them under certain circumstances. In contrast, Ewashia isn't directly affected by the presence of ice, and Ice Cold doesn't explicitly hinder any figure; instead, its primary effect is to change water tiles to ice tiles, which deactivates special powers like Ewashia's as a side effect.

I guess you could argue that the list of units that benefit from water could be excluded from the Book on similar grounds, but I think it has merit as an army-building aid.
