So, you are saying it is unreasonable to take a company at its word.

You are saying it is unreasonable to understand the words a company uses as having the same meaning as understood by every other speaker, writer, listener, and reader.

And you are saying it is reasonable for a company to lie, to make claims that are the opposite of the words it uses.

Yes, the company's network resources are finite, and it is reasonable to put in limits on abuse. That does not (and should not) create a license to abuse the language. There are many other words a company could HONESTLY use to describe its biggest plan that do not mean infinite when they mean finite. Any competent marketer and lawyer can find a thesaurus.

(and the same applies to "Full Self Driving", an obvious lie in it's second decade.)

It's still unlimited if they cap you, it's just slow.
Why do they call it a speed limit on the highways?
