The authors have gone back and forth about allowing this behavior in the first iteration of the EIP. The limitation was originally added to de-risk 3074. Over time, we've come to find that the concern around sending value was overblown.
Yes, it breaks a protocol invariant which exists today (e.g. you can statically determine if a list of txs are valid). However, the cost of breaking this is minimal.
In the rationale we outline an attack which is possible today and how 3074 decreases the cost and difficulty.
If there is further concern of this attack, we can modify the gas cost of sending value with AUTHCALL so that it deters attackers using it to invalidate pending transactions.
