I would say FIRST is trying to force teams to actually be creative with the minibot through the restrictions. If we could just throw the bots up there, that would be the dominating strategy... and based on CD threads, there would be a lot of bots designed that way. By providing strict limits like FIRST has done, it forces you to be creative in order to win. To actually design something better than everyone else, instead of simply having the most tension and the quickest release on your slingshot.
