100% agree. Their original design didn’t even show a percentage, further obscuring what a maximum stat is. I can’t think of a reason of why there wouldn’t be a percentage on the bar that is derived from a percentage in the code. I can only imagine it was deliberate to obscure info.
The “reds were in the works so it’s because reds go to 100%” isn’t unreasonable but I think the further we go without reds or even a mention of them, the less likely it is that was ever actually a consideration. And it’s been 2 years so
