The reasoning behind it was that we didn't want everyone voting for every  
bug.  10 votes may be too restrictive, but some restriction should be in  
place IMO.  The 10 votes was an arbitrary choice.  When you have unlimited  
votes, you are not as responsible with them.

I personally have never run out of votes, because every time I go to vote  
for a bug, I have some voted-for bugs which have been fixed.

The voting system was put in place a few years ago, to see how it might  
help focus attention on more severe bugs.  I'm not sure it had the  
dramatic effect we were hoping, but some bugs did get more attention  
because they had more votes.  It at least gives you a good compelling  
argument if you want to argue that a high-vote bug should be fixed :)
