It's not 'obvious' since no official reason has been given to my knowledge. It appears to be a holdover from the days when the game's community was much smaller.
The official reason is posted on these forums, but it's such an old post you'll likely not find it without googling "ffxiv forum daily post limit" and then digging through the results. That's the only reason I found it originally. But I had gone through probably 30 results before I found the official stance about it. In other words, as you correctly pointed out, it is NOT obvious.
