If a program always wins and never loses, it could rise very far above 3300. If they put a lid on the score of 3300, then that will simply push the others down. For example, if a program got to 3800 and everyone became aghast, they could simply drop 500 points from the ELO figure. Of course, someone who used to be 2500 has now suddenly got an ELO figure of 2000. I don't know if that will make them happy. ;0
