The constraints are there to say what the *system* can deliver.  That
includes the limitations of the consumers, the regulators and the
physical design of the board.  Just as one shouldn't just throw in the
maximum voltage range that the regulator can deliver one also shouldn't
just use the maximum voltage range a consumer can support for similar
reasons.
