General question about cron worker limit in place

Hi, I am working on some self project poc and come up with the obstacle on the limit of 5 cron triggers in free tier.

Currently I separate my functions into 1A,1B,1C,1D, 2, 3. Function 1 runs in every 5 minutes, function 2 runs every day, and function 3 runs every minute.

Ofc I can pay-2-solve the problem or just combining workers with similar purpose to one single worker which runs different part of the code in different intervals. But that defies the orginal purpose of separating the codes for better readability and easier maintainance.

But I just wonder why there is the limit of cron workers there in first place? If it is there for testing shouldnt the other limit (requests, Storage R/W) is enough to prevent abuse? Maybe someone from cloudflare can answer this?
