Sure: Pulling things out of a weapon rack on battle or siege allows you to bypass upkeep and balance-related ammunition limitations and is therefore an exploit. Ban.
Making siege towers (or freaking catapults) has, in my experience, lead only to disruption of the way rounds play, where the portion of the team constructing anything is effectively doing nothing until it's finished and then waits for the enemy team to approach (or slowly wheels forward). Sure, you can do that kind of thing without siege gear, but incentivizing ways to have people effectively stop participating in the majority of a round, or worse, to skew map balance (imagine a siege tower on top of MotF or a siege flag) makes for a much worse game.
They ought to be disabled on non-strat servers like they were before.
