This argument is presupposing that you can tell that someone has multiple
accounts. Something that I don't believe is true. Many people have
multiple credit cards. Heck, even if they have only the one credit card
there may be multiple people who can use it. Would you count a husband and
wife as one user and only being entitled to one account (or charge them
a premium for a second account?).
It would be very nice if you could id the person on a the other end of a
connection, whether its to limit a person to one account or to keep people
from sharing an account or for some other purpose, but I know of no way of
doing that in any sort of reasonable manner even if you're just aiming to
catch a majority of the users.
