That is the complete Unicode range.  There are no Unicode scalar values
above U+10FFFF and never will be (as distinct from Unicode scalar values
that are not, or not yet, assigned to characters).  So that is no
limitation at all.

Let's face it: software is crap. Feature-laden and bloated, written under
tremendous time-pressure, often by incapable coders, using dangerous
languages and inadequate tools, trying to connect to heaps of broken or
obsolete protocols, implemented equally insufficiently, running on
unpredictable hardware -- we are all more than used to brokenness.
