The problem is you get managers who are "head count" hungry and want as many people reporting to them as can fit in the building. It becomes a matter of politics. Having a limit placed from the top down is a good thing. More large corps should do this.

Open allocation is great if your project lead can accurately and honestly define resource needs.
Having worked in many a megacorp, that would seem to be an incredibly rare scenario. Most teams can't even track actual resource usage, let alone accurately project the data.
