Of course it is, all limits are arbitrary, even if informed. Lawmakers probably picked limits which would be reasonably achievable by average healthy humans over long distances.

Usually limits have a purpose - for instance limiting the speed of cars by law is because of accident reduction.
Unless the argument is that pedalling makes it safer, it seems to be a limit for no particular reason.
