Compass recommends a maximum of 60PSI for all tubeless installations. It's supposedly based on avoiding putting enough force on the tire bead to cause a blow-off. But the force on the tire bead scales by both PSI and tire width, so the number ought to be higher for narrower tires than for wider tires.

This could still make sense as lawyer boilerplate, if the number were based on the widest tire in the lineup, since if it were safe for the widest then it would also be safe for the narrowest. But it's obviously not based on the widest tire, because that tire (Rat Trap Pass) has a general max PSI that's lower than the 60PSI limit.

Their tubeless max PSI recommendation should really be revised, because it looks silly right now.

Loads of companies use similar disclaimers. They're also disagreeing that the tire was defective.
