One blanket statement results in people tripping breakers or damaging motors. The other results in reliable mechanisms that err on the side of too conservative. I don't think they're really equivalent.

BAGs are an interesting case here; they should be more durable than fan cooled motors and stall at like 75 amps or so. I just assumed people would go for more mechanical power if they are interested in optimal solutions (you can do a 775pro / CIM / mini at less-than-max power that outperforms a BAG even on a less ideal point on its motor curve).
