Yeah, right. Capping a resource, such a wild idea. Of course they won't implement it for the same reason bar owners don't put a cap on drinks.

Aren't bars actually required to cap drinks? It's usually phrased as having to refuse serving if you're visibly drunk, but still effectively a cap. That said, a big cloud bill doesn't make you intoxicated. The more I examine this analogy, the less it makes sense.

I don't know if the analogy works that well, the assumption is that you're making more money then you put in the more traffic you get. As a bar owner is the choice between closing your bar for the month when you run out of beer or running to the supplier to bring more kegs.
