I don't think that I'd parse "unlimited" and "infinite" in the same way.
Some things are naturally limited by rate delivery, and advertising "unlimited" seems fine. e.g. I don't see a problem with advertising a phone plan as having "unlimited" minutes, rather than specifying a limit of 10,080 minutes per week. The number of minutes are not infinite, but neither are they limited by the carrier.

- Marsymars 3y agoYes, and? Everything that is supplied by physical processes has some physical limit. It's fine to use "unlimited" to refer to things that are subject to physical constraints, it's not the same thing as "infinite".
