but why not the full 4,294,967,295 ?


Someone put a limit check in an so they wrote the first literal rather than the second. Perhaps because they didn't want to figure out the real number and didn't know how to write a literal as an expression. Or perhaps because there is something that can add a 'large' number to the value and they wanted to make sure the limit was hit well before that could occur.
