Or the Flux Time Capacitor is a form of "Zen" stardrive. The only reason
you're limited to warp 7 is because you believe that warp 7 is your maximum speed.
(it's actualy a form of fold drive which is how you get time travel)

If you actualy try to figure out how the FTC works and cause a causuality malfunction<1>.
The warp coils there as an emergency drive and only allow up to warp 2.

<1> Yggdrasil hiccups, and a bunch of "spider bunnies" appear... ask Skuld about spiderbunnies.
