It benefits fast stacking teams or teams that strategically place containers on short stacks.
Sadly, it could be bad news for Wave (probably the best robot of the year) since their partners wouldn't be able to grab from the step until they'd capped their third stack.
But overall I think that's a significantly better solution than the "let's throw more containers on the field" plan.

Oops, forgot to mention, the penalty for each infraction of removing a can from the step when not allowed would be to descore your highest scored container. That's a potential 24 point penalty for each container removed.
