I don¹t doubt that is the rationale. But what is the fix then for high frequencies where you have stringent RE/RS limits with a shield grounded at one end only?
John Woodgate offered one suggestion using caps at the ungrounded end, but to me that is a commercial fix where you have RE limits imposed at three meters or more above 30 MHz, and RI limits at 1/3/10 V/m, whereas for automotive thee are very stringent RE limits imposed down to 150 kHz and at one meter separation, and also RS limits up to 200 /m.

Automotive electronics often use the chassis as the return for power. For high power devices, you run one wire and tie the device¹s ground terminal to the chassis nearby. If the shield was terminated at both ends, would there be a risk of higher return currents flowing on that shield from other devices?

I guess that, e.g. in the auto environment, the risk of large shield currents is too great to allow routine grounding at both ends. But I suppose that grounding via a capacitor at the receiving end is not banned. If possible, this capacitor should be of the lowest possible inductance, which is not difficult with SMD, and if several capacitors are disposed radially around the end of the shield and grounded at their outer ends on a metal ring, the grounding should be good up to at least 1 GHz.
