I think, when people list these things as limits, they do so for the same purpose they list other limits- because they are things they don't do, don't want to be involved in, and don't condone. Why do we mention them? Because they do happen in the real world- they aren't made up- and they happen in the name of bdsm. Bdsm, by nature, does do some things that are reprehensible and beyond the pale to lots of people, and we do make up cutsie little deceptive names for some of the things we do, which imply that they are illegal- such as slavery. Hell, we even do some things that are illegal. Admittedly, the incidence of these "forbidden" topics is so rare that it's probably not necessary to list them as limits. Buy why wouldn't we? In vanilla correspondence, it isn't normally necessary for people to say they don't kill people, but if you are trying to hire a cop, enlist a soldier, or even a bodyguard, you might want to know if their limits include not killing people.
