The limit is an implementation detail. The pattern is compiled into codes which are then interpreted, and it just happens that the codes are (usually) 16 bits, giving a range of 0..65535, but it uses 65535 to represent no limit and doesn't warn if you actually write 65535.
There's an alternative regex implementation here:
