You can rollover to get around contribution limits [1], and the government gets your money now rather than later,
> A Roth IRA rollover (or conversion) shifts money from a traditional IRA or 401(k) into a Roth. You can get around Roth IRA income limits by doing a rollover. You'll owe tax on any amount you convert, and it could be substantial.
Limiting the max amount would reduce near-term government tax revenue. So I don't think it would happen.
