What I want to know is why a modern operating system would have such a limitation in the first place.

It's not like memory allocation is that hard a problem.

An arbitrary limit also guards against processes requesting outrageously large or infinite amounts of resources, accidentally or otherwise. There are hard limits on the numbers of many other items throughout posix, why not exe invocations?
