Please pardon my ignorance but could someone explain what difference it makes to have passport stamped? I thought more the stamps on your passport less the hassle you get next time entry(I experienced it my self...my non Irish passport was all green (back in the days) and IO officer many times just flip through it and cleared me quickly). Am I missing something?

its a fair question, I'll have a go at an answer. Maybe my answer is not perfect.

Firstly, its the written Law.

Why is it the written law for EU family members, with 4EUFam card?
So they are treated as equal to their EU family member.

Why EU citizen don't have their passport stamped ?
So they are not treated as alien within the EU.

A lot of discussion about this subject here
