That's a common misconception of the Kelly criterion. Most Kelly advocates bet less than the optimal Kelly bet, rarely if ever going to the very edge of full Kelly. The reason is that less than Kelly is less average bankroll growth but less risk, that's always a reasonable tradeoff. More than Kelly is less average bankroll growth but more risk, that's not a reasonable tradeoff for someone that values their bankroll.
