You do not provide any arguments as to why this is a problem.

Upon reading your post, I'm left thinking "bah, who are you to decide
what 'normal users' should do and not do?".

Could you please provide some reasoning why you think rate limiting is
not a good solution?

To me it sounds just perfect - allow people to do what they want, but
don't let them eat more than so-and-so-many-percent bandwidth (... or
cpu, or memory, that would be useful too.)
