you reach a point where a miniscule increase in flow causes a huge
increase in friction loss (it's that exponential thing)

Velocities are also somewhat self limiting. Sure, you can push
water through with velocities in the 50 fps range, but that volume
is going to produce significant friction losses. Therefore, you
are going to upsize the pipe to reduce friction loss, which will
also reduce velocities.
