Bartenura
ור"ש פוטר – (see Tractate Yevamot 28b) – the reason of Rabbi Shimon as it is written (Leviticus 18:18): “Do not marry a woman as a rival to her sister [and uncover her nakedness in the other’s lifetime],” at the time that they are made rival/co-wives to each other, such as the example of here, where both of them are levirate relations to him for levirate marriage. You should not have a legal acquisition neither to this one nor to that one, and the Halakha is not according to Rabbi Shimon.
ור״ש פוטר. טעמא דר״ש, דכתיב (ויקרא י״ח:י״ח) ואשה אל אחותה לא תקח לצרור, בשעה שנעשו צרות זו לזו, כגון הכא ששתיהן זקוקות לו ליבום, לא יהא לך לקוחין לא בזו ולא בזו. ואין הלכה כרבי שמעון:
