Sure it can spike higher, but sustain higher (with no minimums lower than required)? That is where USB2 fails. Without sustained bandwidth Blu Ray rips stutter. Honestly though this is only a problem with really high bitrate content. If you must use external drives Firewire 400 and eSATA can do the job though.
I must admit it surprised me too though when I first discovered that limit. Yet more proof you can't trust specs...
