I still think the wattage cap should be increased for fat people and tradies, who both need to carry heavy loads.

    Yeah, I won't disagree with you there. You can check elsewhere in the thread if you want to see more details, but in summary: the specific combination of heavy loads and steep hills (take away either one, and 250 W is easily sufficient) do make a 500 W limit more necessary.
