It isn't exactly arbitrary as it may appear.

When the head has to move beyond the edges of the paper, and spray ink 
on the edge of the paper, the paper needs to remain flat so it neither 
ripples from the ink or just warps due to it's storage qualities.

If the paper tends to ripple or warp, the head can catch on the paper 
edge, both damaging the print with black smears of excess ink on the 
head surface, and potentially damaging the head as well.  As a result 
only flat and relatively heavy stock that handles ink without rippling 
is "designed" within the driver to work in borderless mode.
