This behaviour typically does not exist in the business sector over here. If your company goes into liquidation and has to start up again (newco), you are not liable for the debts of the previous failed enterprise.
The transfer embargo might kill of Rangers completely. They are hemorrhaging players and do not have the ability to sign new ones. How they are going to be able to field a team? 18-year olds?
The SFA feel that they need to be seen doing something - anything - over this issue, and through it they run the risk of eliminating one of the two most important clubs in the country. Goodbye future Sky/ESPN TV revenues. Goodbye gate receipts. Goodbye money.
If that doesn't smack of bloodlust, I don't know what does.

Why? Because they can. They're not a roofing company that just re-registers and off you go with zero accountability for previous actions. The league can still hold them accountable. You're confusing the taxman and the league.
But .... If I might say so your whole approach to this matter given your constant (as proven ... inaccurate) whining about United buying titles is frankly rather confusing, a touch of laughability and moreso .... outright hypocritical.
You whine and complain every chance you get about a club "supposedly"
buying titles , yet here we have a club
that repeatedly bought titles and cups through a process of outright fraudulent behaviour for the best part of the last 20 years and you're complaining of heavy handed treatment?
Seriously? Do explain.
If they're hemorrhaging players and do not have the ability to sign new ones then it appears that the third division is exactly where they belong.
