Why build climbing gear with high KN rating

If a falling climber can't generate above 7 kn or 9 kn then why build climbing biners with 24 to 36 kn, cams to go up to 18 kn or other equipment that is rated 2-5 times more than what we could produce during a fall.
Why waste so much money and material building something that is way above our maximum falling forces?
Does safety factor or potential lawsuits have anything to do with this ?
