They can make whatever rules they want but I think it's unfair to penalize people travelling on the same PNR.
It's not necessarily a penalty. They could well have a lot of past experience that upgrading one and not the other when 2 or more are on the same PNR causes problems both for the flight and the passengers. Even giving #1 the option if #2 definitely isn't going to get the upgrade could be problematic.
