In school the max grade we can get is 100%, and everyone seems fine with that. People don't seem to complain that there's a cap.
In videogames there tend to be max levels, or max scores. People play them knowing they won't ever hit them, and no one seems to mind.
No one starts a job thinking they can get infinite raises. A lot of people tend to have a general idea of what the max compensation they can expect in their line of work is, and seem to be fine with that.
I think people tend to be pretty ok with theoretical or even hard limits, especially if they're far from them.
