Often times, a higher tailwind/crosswind limitation, or higher MTOW is an extra cost option even though all that changes is the paperwork.
Engine companies doe the same thing with thrust ratings - a higher thrust rating will change nothing but the name plate on the engine and the rating plug on the FADEC, but it costs more money. You get more value, you pay more money.
It's called capitalism
