Regarding the memory size limit: unlike the 15" macbooks, ThinkPads use ram sticks that you might change/upgrade in the future.
I am telling this because the 64GB upper limit is likely to be due to current ram stick size availability. This also happened with the X220/T420 series, that were sold as supporting up to 8GB ram but only because there were no 8GB memory sticks.
When such sticks became available, those model supported them, and it was possible to have a ThinkPad X220 with 16GB of ram (I had one).

So the same might happen with the P1
