The problem is in how those numbers are then used. For example (this was
causing the problem we were discussing) converting very large numbers, or
+-INF, to an integer has obvious problems. It doesn't work.

Basically, +-INF is valid, but actually doing anything useful with that
value is difficult - you want to avoid them.
