Not at all. A non-zero usage count means the module can't be unloaded.
Whatever the module does with the usage count apart from that is
completely it's own choice.

Why? Why not just zero them, and get both security and compatibility...

I assume you mean kill is a shell builtin. Depending on your shell. :-).
It's still a real pain when you want to get the pid of the offending
proces(ses). You could of course do something like
for a in /proc/*; do echo -en "$a "; cat $a/cmdline; echo; done (it'll
barf a lot, but give a reasonable picture)...

Anyways, this is all not relevant, imho the whole point is moot.
"I don't like root having rlimits."
"So don't setrlimit root."

No reason to ditch functionality.

Pah! I'll be impressed when you code it as a kernel-module, activating
with left-alt scrolllock or something (that still appears to be free).
