Lets assume that every node on the network have connected to four other nodes. Then, if you rise the TTL by one, your message will reach four time more nodes. If enough clients use too high TTL values, the network will be crippling because of too high traffic.

The more UPs you're connected to, the more queries and query replies you send to the network. If all users would be connected to least 50 UPs, the network would be crippling again because of too high traffic. It simply doesn't make sense to let people use too many UPs at once.
