The answer to the first question is because, even in a WLT system, perfect 24s are pretty rare. In MAR, according to
this, 23's have only been done twice, and in theory a 24 should have only happened once at this point. (Though it would be interesting to see what a difference a WLT would have on this game on the rankings). More matches per team make it harder to score a perfect record.
And regardless of the reason for the upper cap, the lower cap probably exists to keep the average score at 12. If the average score from qualifying becomes less than 12, teams that win judged awards, eliminations, or are a new to gain a slightly greater advantage in their 5 or 10 points, and re-adjusting the point values in that respect would make the system even more complicated.
