Thanks for that reference. However, it only stated that the file system has a 2 TB limit; maybe some other part of the standard is more limited (the controller, perhaps?).

I don't know for sure, obviously, but I would assume there's some technical reason behind the limit. What would be the point if there weren't? (I know you said you have no idea, but maybe somebody else does. If the SD Card Association was still located in tiny Hollister, I'd call them and ask....)

My best guess is that it's tied to FAT32 (which I think had the same 32GB limit until they got around it somehow).
