It's presumably a by-product of the cup rounds being played in consecutive weeks; replays and postponements just aren't possible without holding up the whole competition and throwing the season into even greater disarray, so the team that has the positive cases must be judged (however harshly) as the ones at fault for the match not being played. Orient's chairman does have a solid point about it potentially disincentivising clubs to test in the first place, though. But in an already-crazy season with a congested schedule, I'm not sure what realistic alternative method there is to decide an unplayable cup tie.
