As someone just said, the chest is effectively a limit on duels, it's the chest timer. True, you can keep fighting if you want, which I appreciate, because it's fun, but you're not gaining tangible benefits. In terms of where you stand in the leagues, you can't really force your way higher by brute force grinding--since matchmaking appears random, and you lose cups for defeats in Master I+, at some point you reach some sort of equilibrium where advancement is really determined by army strength.

For older players who advanced substantially before duels were unlocked, there will be a bit of a grind to actually reach their equilibrium point, and for these players the lack of a limit means that they can go through that grind in one sitting if they really want to. However, for the majority of players and for every new player coming in, a dueling limit would make no meaningful difference.
