I heard this from the core Subversion team too.  The hypothesis is that
by forcing groups to be unable to proceed without continually rebasing
to each other's work, that collaboration is enhanced.

I think any argument which states that a restrictive system is better
than a non-restrictive system, when the non-restrictive system can be
used in the same way as the restrictive system (either with
configuration, or agreement with the committers) is quite bizarre.

Sam.
