Specifications set minimum requirements, rarely does a specification set an actual maximum limit. In this case, the specification requires that compliant hardware support *at least* the rates specified (within the defined optionality of the specification), but does not bar hardware from supporting higher rates or additional features, as long as the specification is met otherwise. Most likely the manufacturer is quoting the maximum possible rate for their hardware under laboratory conditions and using carefully specified supporting hardware; rather than the real world conditions with various unknown additional hardware elements (e.g. a card reader) and environmental conditions. Basically, you'll probably never see the maximum quoted data rate because some *other* hardware in the system probably won't support it (again, readers *can* support higher speeds, but most won't), but the card *could* deliver data at those rates in a theoretical perfect environment. Most quoted rates do, somewhere in fine print and often only on their website, describe the basis for the claim. With a little digging you can probably find the exact answer if you're curious enough.
