Giving In To Our Yetzer

Chazal say that really an אשת יפת תואר should be forbidden but the Torah permitted her as a concession to our yetzer hara.

Great. So why only here? There could be many instances where the Torah could permit things as a concession to our yetzer hara. But no - everything else forbidden is forbidden.
