To me, rules aren't just about keeping the game safe and fair, they should also promote skilful/attractive play and discourage overly physical or defensive play in the best interest of making the sport appealing to potential players and audiences.
'Skilful', 'attractive', 'overly physical' and 'overly defensive' subjective, but I think there's a large majority with a common understanding of them, and like Bill says it's actuall common for rulesets in other sports to be used to sculpt the game into a better form.
