You can limit the number of slots per reward, which is essentially the same.

Yes, but that doesn't stop people from adding more slots than they can realistically handle.

The skills, knowledge, and resources to produce 1k widgets is totally different than producing 1MM widgets. I might be able to brute-force manufacture 1k widgets from my garage and that would kickstart the business if that's my skill and scale estimate. I need staff, facilities and a different type of supplier if I need to make millions, and I may not have what it takes to deliver on that.
