I was always under the impression that making non-admin rollback was a bit pointless, since it's something that any user can do with a script.
Quite the contrary, as I understand it. Not pointless, but rather denying it from people is pointless for that very reason. Tim Starling also said (if I recall correctly) that using the inbuilt functionality is slightly more efficient demand-wise than with external scripts.
If you need to use your own scripts, it basically penalises those who have very low end soft/hardware and or technical knowhow.
So this is both recognizing what is basically the de facto situation, and a move to greater equality between regular users.
