Default Artificial Cap?

Why is it an "artificial" cap? If the architecture doesn't allow for addressing more than 32 GB, I don't consider that "artificial". The original Sony Memory Stick was capped at 128 MB (I believe), SD was capped at 1 GB (although you could get 2 or 4 GB with various tricks, I think), various iterations of the FAT file system had different caps, etc.

And what would a "real" cap be? Certainly not size (at least not until you get to the subatomic level), because memory keeps getting smaller every year, it seems.

Just curious....
