Because that's how it's designed. Suzuki will know what the safe limit of the engine is given the design life etc. and the limiter will be set to that value. They are hardly going to design an engine that's on the edge of grenading itself at 10,000RPM and then set the limiter to 11k.

Fair enough thats exagerating the terms but it explains the thinking behind my reasoning.

Flawed thinking however. He wasn't in neutral holding it against the limiter, he was accelerating in second and hit the limiter. It happens, that's why the limiter is there and the occasional trip to the red line isn't going to hurt it.
