I hear ya. No road bike for me, but I am fixin' to build a monster-cross light tourer on a SOMA Double Cross Disc 2017 that takes up to 700x45c meat like this...
Got the wheels with 35mm Schwalbe Marathon Supreme (folding) for it already...
I ride 37-451 tires on one of my folders at 70/50psi. At times the ride can still be jarring. I shudder at the thought of 32-349 at 100psi. This, from one who used to MTB sans suspension at one point.

Personally, I think the range for the bikes you mention is just fine. Remember, these aren't mega sellers like the road, VTT, electric or even hybrid options. Also, folding bikes have a rather specialized usage, and most owners will have a "normal" bike as their daily ride.
All of which is off topic. Tyre did the supermarket run without problems, so increasing to 100 psi shortly.
