The spectrum is a limited resource. Rate limits restrict the amount of spectrum one occupies, leaving more of it for use by other operators. There are other restrictions like this. For instance, in my country, only clubs are allowed to transmit analog TV continously. Individuals can only make short transmissions. Some people argue that increasing the bandwidth would incentivize digital modes. I can understand the point, but I would rather experiment with low-bandwidth modes than to take larger portions of the spectrum with faster, potentially wasteful modes.
