So then the OS did support higher capacity drives, just not anything that anybody can use these days

The OS did, but the disk driver for the Lisa ProFile hard drives (which was distributed as part of the OS) did not. All existing emulation only supports the ProFile drives, not the DataTower. If you're actually interested, I think it would be a better use of your time to look at the readme file for the repo I linked (which goes over the patch) instead of nitpicking my comments.
I didn't mean to nitpick, I was actually confused and curious. And I'm willing to believe that it's discussed in that repo, but that's a lot of text to go through.
