If we assume speedstealing works even against characters from other companies not connected to the speedforce, we need to assume that people like AM's powers work too and not just give characters from other companies a free pass against them.And don't get me wrong cause I think the ruling is totally bogus, but it is what it is.
It was because Zoom wasn't tied to the Speed Force? I would think it was because Zoom didn't have true super speed since Flash has done that to those not tied to the Speed Force and inanimate objects moving around. Actually, I remember him seed stealing Inertia when he became Kid Zoom and took all of Zoom's power.
Wait is this something more recent Post-FLASHPOINT?

He stole Inertia's speed PRIOR to him becoming Kid Zoom.
That was the reason why he had to become Kid Zoom.
