Is there a specific reason that a nested class cannot have a member
template?

My main query is why the specific restriction exists.

I didn't find that restriction in the draft, but I may have missed it.

There is a restriction that a *local* class cannot have a member template.
(A local class is one defined inside a function.) You cannot declare a
template inside a function, so it seems reasonable to disallow template
members of local classes for the same reason.

Sorry, I misread it.
