I think it's odd we don't think of other limitations of products the same way. Put another way, why don't we just say it can't do it.

Example, we don't say a jet ski has a current speed limitation of 80 mph, we say it can go 80, but not 81. It's a simple fact. No promise that it will be faster tomorrow, because that's not what it is, it's not its future self.

It's like they're combining startup it will always be better after you invest more money with the reality of what "is" means.
