No, 1) isn't the only reason.. 2) accounts for it too; the limit is the size
of the circle of confusion we are ready to accept and this doesn't only
depends upon the grain. Just think about it : some lenses are better than
else and thus allows greater magnification, all lenses aren't equal and
increasing magnification will makes their defects more apparent.

If the perspective and spatial relationship stay the same, the image quality
degrades itself a lot due to the magnification : why would we need to buy
all these expansive lenses and drag them around if a single one could do it
all ? Even digital SLRs bodies need several lenses although there is no
grain in digital pictures..
