What is the point of setting Haveno limit on maximum traded amount per payment method? (self.haveno)

At https://docs.haveno.exchange/the-project/payment_methods/0-all-methods/#2-altcoin-payment-methods I can not find any explanation why the limit is placed, i assume that it limits the loss per trade, but then the scammer can do multiple trades and the loss is the same? So what is the point? If it is not like that, then please explain or link me to an explanation? Thank you

By managing the risk, you mean charging 25% extra (making the trade 25% more expensive for a taker), nothing else, no other way to manage the risk (i am not sure if i understand the meaning of "managing risk" as a user who never used the Haveno)? Thank you

Correct. 25% was an example and usually it will be way lower than that. Makers will sell at higher prices for payment methods that are more risky and lower prices for less risky options. It's a rather simple example of the free market regulating itself.
