First, you don't know how to rescale the data if someone is passing in
a custom script. More importantly, people don't expect the benchmark
tool to change things in tables unless specifically requested. I once
made the unfortunate mistake of running 'pgbench -i' against the wrong
database, one that just happened to have a table named 'accounts' in
it, only to watch that table get destroyed. It would be unwise to
make that behavior easier to trigger.
pgbench is a fairly flexible tool that supports creating simple
scripted tests for a variety of purpose. It just so happens that most
people only ever use the default tests where it seems things could be
simplified. They could, but it would take some of the flexibility out
as well.

OK, what if it warns on the -s is set when missing -i and when ( -i
and -f is set in the same command) ???
