My guess is, that this limit is there, to ensure, that you can earn more than the required points you would need if you would level another syndicate. For example- if you have leveled steel merridian to the max and now want to level a different syndicate that would lower steel's reputation you can just use the already farmed reputation instead of loosing another rank and having to spend the required parts to level up  again. Basically you could say, it is more of an insurance, and since you can get more than 100.000(which is the cost of the most expansive item), you also do not loose reputation once you reach 100.000 so you do not loose a repuation level once you get the desired item. It would be really stupid to level every syndicate's last level twice to get the weapon and the syandanas. Sure you have to get the reputation points but at least you do not have to spend the parts twice.
