The rule of capitalist media: bigger budgets require bigger pressure to secure the investment as a success by steering towards what worked in the past.

If there was a limit on the size of a production's budget then the overall amount of money in the market would still be present but distributed across many more films. This would mean more talent is required across the industry and lead to some really wonderful unconventional movies.
