If memory serves, the original purpose of the cutoff was to avoid overtaxing the resources of the Secretariat in the period immediately prior to IETF meetings. But it has also come in handy for ADs and others who feel the need to keep up with large numbers of documents from a variety of working groups. I wouldn't blame any AD or WG chair for imposing a "no drafts submitted after the cutoff can be discussed at the meeting" rule.
