As Jason said, you have listed no downsides. Allowing more would offset the balance, as you already have 2 regiments equipped to do this, regiments with slightly worse snipers, and NHC jobs.
I would flush my explanation out more, but I've already passed you in word count so I'm not going to. Give better reasonings and reasons again and retry in two weeks.

Snipers has always been an touchy subject, more snipers which will annoy more people as you can't fight hostiles in front of you with like six snipers killing your team holding the point, IVG/ISAF are already at slight disadvantage, more snipers just put them in a higher disadvantage.

If you want more snipers we would have to go back to the combat points system again so there aint like 6 snipers up at all times since they are pretty annoying to deal with.
also if you want one regiment to have more snipers people would say you are making that regiment too good and making it a one man army.
 
Main positive would be there is less competition for sniper slots, that was always a big point of contention for people in ISAF/SAS/IVG/AG. But it's like saying JAF/ABT should have more helicopters so people can fly more.

Sniper balancing itself has been fairly horrible and I don't think either side is happy. Best balance would be to remove the sniper marker and limit the snipers to what they are (maybe with a job cooldown if you die as sniper after getting X amount of kills) currently. Sniper marker is just a huge nerf for no real reason other than people are too incompetent to deal with snipers, they're really quite easy to out-play.

tl;dr keep sniper limits but remove sniper ping and actually let ground troopers use their brains to kill snipers instead of coping.
