> but why isn't there any limit to the amount that companies can be sued for? Because there is no limit on the damage that they could have done (regardless of the cost of the service). In many cases non-customers may be harmed (e.g. Deep Water Horizon) so there is no relevance of the cost of the service to the amount of potential damage that can be caused. I'm not claiming that this claim is reasonable or that the amount of damage claimed here is remotely correct.
