even if we can agree it was within the aircraft operating limits
It wasn't and G load isn't the only limiting factor.
it looks like fun - because it is - something that seems to be progressively legislated out of aviation.
Well, yes and rightfully so, because too many people die doing "fun" stuff with toys which are not intended for "fun" stuff.

This is not the military. You do not know, how many times that guy has already f**** up the same oh so fun maneuver, because he is self trained. I can only hope, the mechanics know about this pilot and his hobby and do very careful preflights.
