Because you really want to record movies longer than 30 minutes on your phone?

Not even sure if the UK has changed this already.

I really want technology to be as good as it gets, not as good as tax/tariff law allows.

The tax/tariff laws might dictate 30 minutes; however, in this case, it is also a practical limit for recording on your phone. Manufacturers need to set some boundaries in case someone is making a pocket recording that potentially could fill up the storage, drain the battery, and crash the device. If you want to record more than 30 minutes, you are better off buying recording equipment.
