That's not a feature, that's a limitation that forces you to change your behaviour. It's forcing user engagement. And when I see a Meerkat feed I missed I'm just annoyed (especially as I expect it to be live when I tap the tweet) - I'm much happier being able to see a replay on periscope.

... Like, say, limiting tweets to 140 chars?

IIRC the original reason for that was because of the length of a text message, so it was a technical restriction more than anything.
