Raising that limit risks to render the protection tool to not work anymore. When we had the SEPA chargeback scammer common amounts of his trades was about 700 EUR (about 0.05 BTC), so that means he would have had no restriction to use Bisq for his scam. 
The account signing tool was the only idea found to improve security (as it turned out the account age was not sufficient). If we lose that tool in case scammers return and people lose confidence in the security of Bisq trades, we might kill Bisq with that.

The miner fee problem is real and need to be addressed as well as the low trade limits. 
There have been in the past periods of high miner fees and it went back to low levels, it still need to be seen if recent spikes will be sustained or are just temporal. 
Beside that we should find payment methods which have low chargeback risk so account signing is not needed anyway (like Transferwise).
