Everyone except for the spot has a max(imum) of $500 in front of them even though the game is uncapped.

Nobody is robbing anyone. The proper analogy would be if you call the bank to tell them you want to withdraw 5k today and they tell you you have to wait for a day. After that you go in today anyway and get the money because the clerk doesn't know about the wait period.
The player isn't removing somebody else's money from the table. If he bought in for $500, chips up to $750 and goes South for $250 for all we know he took that money out of his starting stack. There's no FIFO/LIFO system here.
That said, it's obviously not OK to go South. It's against the rules and should be stopped. It's just not really different from going North. Both violate the rules of the game.
We can't say fish are allowed to go North but not South because we'd like to take their money while we're opposed to crushers going North in order to match the stack of a spot. And a lot of people might actually be happy if the crusher sitting on their left had only 10BB instead of 1000BB in front of them, especially if they had 1000BB, too.
