That's a consequence of not being allowed to put yourself in check (by any means).

The only way to put yourself in check is by moving.

The only action you can ever take in chess is moving.

You can resign, too.

You can put yourself in check by moving the king. That has nothing to do with pinning. Adding a rule for pinning is redundant.

It isn’t an added rule for pinning. It’s the only rule about putting yourself in check.

Did you mean putting your opponent in check? In chess, you are not allowed to put yourself in check.

You said “ That's a consequence of not being allowed to put yourself in check (by any means).” My point is that there are no other means.
