Exactly, You can put arbitrary things in a .py folder, if it doesn't run, it's your problem.
Unix didn't limit what you can put in a file, it doesn't expect your program to work when you fill your program with random strings.
The point is, the intepreter developer can feel free to optimize for everything below 1 million, putting a hard cap is pointless. The same reason that most sh file are suffixed as sh despite not needing that suffix at all.
