Except that it 'pollutes' the personal namespace.
No argument with that.
It also prevents adding new namespaces after the server has been setup because there is no way of knowing whether an existing user has created a personal mailbox with the same name as the new namespace that needs to be added.
That's a server issue. For some servers it might be impractical, for others trivial, so IMHO it's perfectly appropriate that servers may use overlapping namespaces. (May, not must.)
