The ratio is often totally arbitrary and determined by the engine manufacturer.

At one point they decide, 28250rpm = 100% and then the engine evolves and its limit goes higher but the original ratio is retained. So it is typical to have actual limit a few % above 100%.

100% does not mean maximum here.
