It's so careless users don't burn through their data plan in 3 minutes by downloading a multi gb app and movie. It's a safety net because the high majority of users do not have unlimited data plans. At least this is how I always interpreted this rule. I don't think that is what that rule does. It is mainly to protect the user who downloads an app to still be able to use it if they are on wifi and 4G, even if the app maker didn't pay to have "special access" to the 4G network that month.
