You’re confused because your premise is wrong. It was a change to the default value of a client side preference, not “a cap”. Users can set the value as they please. It’s not a consensus rule that miners heed, it’s a client side setting, which ultimately doesn’t matter, and also, nothing is “forced through” - you can still set a low value if you’re into incentivizing permanent storage of redundant data over optional storage in a prunable (throw-away) field, for some reason. Nobody has to accept the default value.
