Checking is action and if you don't think that there is harm in allowing a player to bet after three players behind him have checked you don't have a very firm grasp of the game.

Three people folding to a bet and a raise is 'significant' action. Three people checking is almost the complete absence of action.

There is no difference in the 'amount of action' between a check, bet, or raise. For the person on the fence about whether they should bet (not talking about OP), three checks behind him is very significant information.
In the B&Ms I frequent, 3 people acting behind you is always considered significant action, and you will not be allowed to bet.
