You get the same thing on phones with expandable storage, they'll usually say "Supports Micro SDHC up to 64GB or something, but when 128GB or 256GB cards come along, they work just fine.
Also when higher capacity come along there's usually a BIOS update to cover them which doesn't happen automatically.
