It's not a matter of individual preference. During my time as so@ (and Simon's before me), this was an explicit policy. The reason is that, as Robert points out, there are a million ways for a trusted unprivileged user to cause a DoS, and most of them aren't even bugs. Some of them can be mitigated using quotas or resource limits, but far from all.
