Besides, surely longevity is a "good thing" - nobody wants to see engines spewing oil onto the racing line and teams pouring money down the drain for no good reason.

Yes, quite true. But pushing the limits is also a good thing so there is a balance to be struck there. A rev limit that's only slightly above what a road-going engine can do is a bit too far on the reliability side IMO.
