That's a good point and its something to discuss I think.
Pros:
- Ability to have same alias for multiple languages (mostly for a root category)
Cons:
- Issue with duplicated aliases when user disables language filter for some reason while having same alias in multiple languages in same parent category
Anything more you could think of (both pros and cons)?

It is indeed not allowed on purpose.
A good setting for a multilingual site is to always set a root parent category per language for each component.
I guess we can close this.

I think this is not allowed on purpose. If you disable Language Filter, one of the categories won't be accessible due to conflicting aliases. Same applies to other content types.
