That might have been a fine rule on kickoff day, but at this point many teams have optimized their robots to accurately lob the ball into the high goal from precise scoring positions. By getting rid of the top bar, you would be eliminating an entire class of "finishers", and putting lots of successful designs with lower-powered shooters at a sudden disadvantage. Worth it? Maybe, but it's pretty drastic.
