I just feel it would be a much more interesting card at 2UU to cast and 2UU to recur. If a control deck has 4UUUU and nothing else to use it on, shouldn't they be able to have one counterspell a turn?
If a decent control deck has 4UUUU it does have at least a counterspell a turn

My point exactly. Were not going to overpower control too much by giving them a 4UUUU forbid.
