Sorry, I have no skills for C programming.
But, I guess the causes from below codes by only my intuition.
# https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/trunk/range.c

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
static int
discrete_object_p(VALUE obj)
{
    if (rb_obj_is_kind_of(obj, rb_cTime)) return FALSE; /* until
Time#succ removed */
    return rb_respond_to(obj, id_succ);
}
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
static VALUE
range_include(VALUE range, VALUE val)
{
    VALUE beg = RANGE_BEG(range);
    VALUE end = RANGE_END(range);
    int nv = FIXNUM_P(beg) || FIXNUM_P(end) ||
rb_obj_is_kind_of(beg, rb_cNumeric) ||
rb_obj_is_kind_of(end, rb_cNumeric);
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

It looks specific rules for Time and Numeric.
