Who thought that it would be good idea to block gifts if they are over 10% in price difference (szmer.info)

Hey, my friend from another country wanted to gift me undertale since it was deeply discounted during current sale but steam had to step in and block gifting since there was price difference higher than 10% and now I am wondering… who thought that it would be good idea?

Agreed that it is dumb. I think they should at least make it so that the gifter pays the same price as you would've paid. I got a gift card from my friend instead so I could buy the stuff myself. It was very silly.
