SVCs do not architecturally have this restriction.
Given what I know in general (not specific to USS), I would not make the
assumption that "...because the SVC 144 routine uses register 14 to exit"
is true.
It might be true that a modification to register 14 is lost, but this is
not the reason. Conceivably the designer/coder of that routine that it was
true, but that doesn't make it true.
I'll see if I can track down someone who knows.
