Google is providing a service to users at a price with a set of limits.
There are many
limits to the system, as there are limits to the mail systems other
companies provide.
Those limits are chosen based on technical, product, policy and legal
decisions.  If
those limits do not match the particular user's needs, then they should
evaluate
the full set of their requirements against the available options and make
their choice.

Every mail service limits the size of the messages, most limit the size of
the mailbox, some
implicitly limit the size of the mailbox by having rate limits or required
expiration.  The
service limits what types of messages are allowed to be sent and received.
They make
judgements on the contents of the messages based on spam/malware/phishing.
They keep
logs as required by the law.  They control access to the mailbox to protect
a user's content.
They don't allow sending of spam, or being a dropbox for fraud.

This particular discussion is about DMARC, Google has chosen to enforce
DMARC on the
mail sent to their customers not because "they know what's best"... they
have an implicit understanding with their customers that they will make
reasonable attempts
to reduce "bad" messages from reaching them.

So, yes, Google has decided that 86400 messages a day is enough for anyone,
and that 15GB
of mail is the limit for free accounts (which is probably less than 10d of
1qps mail, I might add).
They've decided that Gmail is a mailbox for users and not robots, partially
because robots cost
4-5 orders of magnitude more.  These limits are always subject to change
based on the market
and costs.
