Remove the 522BPM limit!

Disclaimer: Please read the whole post before responding ;-;

Hello! I am new to the forums, and as my first post I would like to make a request! The BPM limit in FL 10 (and any other DAW except Cubase) is 999BPM. Why exactly just limit it to that oddly specific number after the version? Plus, the limit means Splittercore and Extratone isn't allowed to be made.
Now, this isn't the first time this request has been made, but usually when its made people go 2 ways:
1-They insult/laugh at the genres and the producers of it, and just act as if it wasn't necesary
This point is dumb. Not only that is just a subjective opinion, even if the genres were objectively bad, they still should be allowed to be made. FL is not a dubstep making program, or a future bass making program, its a musicmaking one! You should be able to do any genre you want! Granted, the 5000BPM songs can't be made - but thats because of a technical difficulty, since it would lag the program a lot and probably make normal computers explode, not because the 5000BPM songs are bad!

It doesn't matter if you think it sucks - It doesn't even matter if you think its music, given music is subjective and the only point to make against Splittercore and Extratone are making up your own definitions of it to exclude them.
2-They suggest a workaround
This is obviously much better, and I think many people use these workarounds, but the point is, they just shouldn't be made. Why do I have to use a workaround to make my music? Because other people don't like my music? Thank you for the suggestion, but the complaints aren't really that the music can't be made, just that you shouldn't be working under specific conditions to make your music just because its not generally liked ;-;

To put it on a perspective so everyone can understand, imagine in FL 20 they changed the BPM limit to 150. What if you make DnB, for example? Well, you are screwed, either you go through the pain of learning another DAW, or you're cursed to use an old version forever. And when asking for help, others just say "do people even listen to DnB? Thats not music lol!"
Obviously it seems ridiculous because DnB is an actually accepted genre - But the same applies with Splittercore and Extratone! Its stupid to deny music to be made just because you don't like that music...

Anyway, I hope I explained myself xD Thank you for reading! I'll try to be active here because it seems like a really nice place ^^
