As far as I remember, level 200 wasn't 2^31-1 at all. It was somewhere over 2b, but not the absolute max.
They had to end it somewhere, so they chose the exponential factor (1.0514 afaik) that landed them closest to 2^31-1 at 200. With the 0.8x that means they can increase the exponential factor, landing us right where we were before with 2b experience for 200.
It'd make more sense to decrease the exponential factor and increase the base amount of experience, in my opinion.
