I had a similar thought back in late 2007. My hypothesis at the time was that by allowing EVERYONE the choice of cutting heel promos, it would create character maximization.

(i.e. we all fell in love with guys like The Rock, Austin, Angle, Jericho, Guerrero, Orton, etc. when they were heels).

The fans would then NATURALLY start cheering certain wrestlers anyways.....and would probably cheer those wrestlers louder and harder anyways because technically, "they are not supposed to."
