It’s a feature that helps to reduce spam and spam reports.

I doubt this is true, because in majority of the cases bots will be using macros and pre-defined automation. And considering this game has ability to re-enter previously typed text by pressing “Enter” & “Up” I doubt this was really a concern. Unless this is specifically targeted against casual spammers alike Twitch Chats have.
