I cannot speak for Ron. I would use an infinite limit as an expedient way to administer addresses that I give to senders that I think have a low chance of spamming the address or of giving the address to someone who will spam it.
Say I hand out an address that allows unlimited messages. In the common case, I never have to touch that address again. In the rare case, I am back to the old days -- I get spam. But only until I set the message limit to zero or hide the address.
Imposing no message limit is a bad strategy if the recipient of the address is likely to spam you. For me, the strategy works well for most of the entities I give an email address to.
