I completely agree with this. One of the reasons you aren't allowed to take dogs into public places like that is people's allergies. People are going to still have problems with their allergies even if your tiny dog never touches the floor. I'll bet you someone taking their small dog into a mall would have an issue with someone carrying a boa around their neck. (Extreme example, yes, considering the danger implied with a snake, but, some people are more afraid of any sized dog than snakes, and, neither are "allowed.") I think little dogs getting carried around is cute, I'd probably walk my little one and carry it if I ever got a dog small enough to comfortably do so, but, I wouldn't take them into a place where dogs weren't welcome.
