What would the reasoning be for this? Trucks are already limited in this regard and it doesn't cause catastrophe. Why should a company be allowed to knowingly break the law?

That's an extremely strong assertion. Do you believe all car makers are breaking the law by making cars that can drive 80+ mph? By having cruise control that can be set at 80+mph?

Why do you think this is the company breaking the law? It does what the driver tells it to do, the driver is fully in control of the speed it goes.

I can't speak to what trucks do, but those are commercial vehicles, and have very different performance characteristics from cars.
