It's a common feature. IIRC, in Cisco WLC land the feature is referred to as active rogue containment:

As someone who has experienced the fallout firsthand from a neighboring tenant in a downtown Seattle office building who used it, I'd challenge the idea that there are valid reasons to do this.

If you control the physical network - don't allow rogue APs on your network.

If you control the client and care about them connecting to access points that aren't under your control, then manage that instead.
