"instead of [...] a less meaningful 80 or so levels [...] we have 60 levels of awesome"

Boy, swollen head, anyone?

A level cap can (and will) be patched around if it's annoying enough, by the community if Blizzard won't. Something a bit similar happened with Baldur's Gate and BG2: XP cap for the first game set at 89,000 -- which is only around level 6 or 7, depending on class. You can bet that got patched by the community.
