Time will tell. Tesla would certainly not want it to be the case, and owners are sadly not any more reliable as a source of information than any other demographic. Some are anal and complain about everything and others never complain about anything (with everything in between).
Isn’t it possible they’re keeping it limited until they have more data from the fleet on the battery pack cycles and will in the future allow faster charge rates via OTA? My guess is they’re going to tinker around with it until they find the sweet spot of longevity vs charge rate.
It's a bit of a misconception, the tabless design does reduce internal resistance but it is negated by the increase in cell diameter. This graph from battery day actually shows a slight supercharge time increase, although it's hard to quantify given the y axis is not labeled.
That is misleading. Google search for facts: https://www.google.com/search?q=gm+ultium+battery+pay+increases
This chart shows a drastic increase in charge times with a "1 TAB" cell as the diameter increases, while showing a nearly flat line for the "TABLESS".It's a bit of a misconception, the tabless design does reduce internal resistance but it is negated by the increase in cell diameter.

That's the point, nearly flat, but there is a slight increase relative 2170 cells. How big that slight increase is in terms of time we cannot quantify given the y axis is not labeled.
No, you have completely misunderstood the point of this chart. The 2170 cells are not the baseline, they are the dashed red line that grows significantly ("1 TAB"), showing that they have a much longer charge time than the tabless design.
