It was my understanding (EDITED with link below) that the DEA classed CBDs derived from hemp the same as that derived from cannabis (or Marijuana, the nomenclature seems to shift) , thereby classing CBDs under the same schedule as THC extracts. I may be wrong, it's been known to happen, but i thought that was the issue.

This is from Leafly, so it's just media source, but what is stated below is his i understood it.

Good point.
