Eventhough I don't like that rule neither I can see some reasons for that rule.
- There are still people using slow connections and it would take too long for them to load big images (I wonder why they should ever join a site then as the images in the member areas are a lot bigger)
- By limiting the file size to 80kb they make sure that nobody gives away the original pictures (3000x2000 px) etc. which increases signup changes
