I thought it was a gentleman agreement between manufacturers to avoid a top speed battle +20yrs back since most buyers would never go that far. Also, Auto motor und sport wrote back then that it would cost significant overhead to go higher on the axles and tires. This would make the cars too expensive for never exploiting it.
