Malicious/vulnerable TTY line disciplines have been subject of some kernel exploits such as CVE-2017-2636, and since - to put it in Greg Kroah-Hatrman's words - we do not "trust the userspace to do the right thing", this reduces local kernel attack surface. Further, there is no legitimate reason why an unprivileged user should load kernel modules during runtime, anyway.
