Engineering is all about designing stuff that will break under specific situations. 150ATM with a safety factor of 2 or more needs to be stronger than 220ATM with a safety factor of 1.

This is one of the reasons nuclear power plants have relatively low power plant efficiency, they want more headroom before stuff breaks.
