I don't think it's unreasonable at all if properly explained before
you sign up. It can be very useful. I used to run a half-dozen lists
for family and friends, ie, literally small circles of 3-10 members.
None of them ever sent as many as 100 messages in a day, let alone in
an hour. As the FAQ puts it, this kind of restriction is what you're
signing up for when you get a "consumer" account.
One should read the fine print when signing up for services that seem
remarkably cheap, that's all.
