eh, they don't strike me as a company where some marketing doofus pushed this through to try and make an extra buck. seems more likely that they wanted to see how far they could push the wattage and in doing so they found some pretty tight tolerances with respect to safety and reliability so they took care to ensure that it would only work in the tested configuration. at the end of the day, it still supports the standard. would be nice to see them try to push the standard forward, which they still very well may do.
