Well, I think it might be the "Type XXI uber-boat syndrome" we're dealing with here

People are fascinated with the size of the I-400, and/or the potential of the famous Long Lance torpedoes (which were ways ahead of anything either the Allies or the Germans had at the time). But they never achieved much of anything. Much like the all-too-late Type XXI.

Ubi, being aware of this tendency, might well be tempted to include some of those "uber" things that fascinate some people so much :hmm:
