Or it may just be, that anyone (currently) caring about >256 bits of symmetric key is likely not knowledgeable enough to avoid snake-oil salesmen (usually are annoying, but in crypto are outright dangerous).
Is there any well-defined, well-implemented cipher with a keysize of >256. AFAIR the AES is either 128 or 256.
That seems more (rightfully) careful than draconian..
