A limit very much makes sense of many levels, just not all of them at once. You're arguing against a hard limit of every single AWS service.
Nobody wants their storage deleted once their budget hits a limit, what they want, and is reasonable to have, is a limit that prevents AWS from spinning additional EC instances. Or a limit that blocks your usage of Textractor. Or many other limits an user could individually set-up for the services where a limit makes sense.
