That seems like a pretty self defeating statement. Aren't most super abilities disproportionately powerful? DR, Innate Attacks, Mind Reading, TK - all of those abilities can be potential campaign breakers and can put some characters way ahead of others.
Shouldn't something be done to help designs that are hampered by using a limited list of traits? A 500 point super that invests 100 points in a UB is still competitive with a 500 point "normal" that doesn't have access to any innate super abilities despite having 100 points less to play with. Real game experience has shown me that being having to limit yourself to only gadgets, certain racial abilities (that others also have), and "normal" traits is definitely worth altering the number of points a character has to play with. UB is just the obvious mechanism to levy that tax.
