It's quite simple really. The rules are in place to prevent jealousy. Breaking the rules causes jealousy. Using limiters allows you to break the rules without causing jealousy. Hence, limiters prevent jealousy.
and you are, once again, ignoring half the argument.

Using Limiters don't allow you to break the rules without causing jealousy, it's a 'flaw' in the system that still cause jealousy, but a flaw that is abused in a few cases.

If you see the ep in question, Shari clearly says using limiters is "playing dirty", and "playing dirty" clearly means it's not something people like.

It's much more likely that cheating in this way is tacitly allowed because very few people would beg for a limiter (so in the grand scheme of things, there are few uses of this loophole), and thye need a way to bypass laws in emergency without creating a debacle.

We have seen RF6 disbanded a few months after jail's incarceration, so that abuse of the laws clearly wasn't long-term. It's quit likely the use of so many limiters was there only because all the high-ranking mages in questions flt they were needed, and there was some high-ranking brass behind them.
