I also can't see the benefit of that restriction, except perhaps to prevent an input error by the user (oops, an extra zero!).
I just tried testing this again but I don't have any active test leagues with teams having more than 20 mil available for extensions. BTW, the initial post in this thread was using data from a v6.5 imported league (game date: 2018) and during import OOTP set the super star contract value to 15 mil. I'm not positive if that is the default super star contract setting if you started a new league, but I believe it is.

I certainly hope that's not the reason this exists because if you go through (6.5) leagues you will see a number of players with over 20M contracts. That possibility shouldn't be taken away. I'm surprised you consider this a minor issue, I don't. I can see them maybe wanting to validate the input somehow, but 20M is far too low of a restriction and what if you wanted to run a league in the far off future with contracts over 100M per year? You run a league long enough, you could probably get there just with inflation. Your opening sentence sounds like a more reasonable way of doing it, but maybe just double the value for that type of player instead of setting a set value because that set value could easily be overtaken with enough time. The typical value should instead grow (do they now?) as the league goes along as would its double. For example, if the salary for a typical player of X ability is 15M (in free agency mind you, not before) then maybe the max you should ever see him make is 30M. And then as the years go on that 15M and 30M values should grow. You might need to adjust that rule for players who make relatively little, however, maybe 3, 4 or 5 times the amount.
