That is exactly correct. Haynar's formula is designed to prevent someone with like 150 AC from always taking minimum damage.

Going from 23 AC to 55 AC gave me a 35% damage reduction. Going from 55 AC to 100 AC would be a huge boost uncapped.

Occam's razor suggests Haynar put this low level AC cap in so low levels with high AC will still have a bit of a challenge when fighting mobs of roughly equal level. I don't think it is more complicated than that.
I understood that Haynar put them in, because an article on how the AC changes (late Sol/PoP) were implemented mentioned there was antitwink code which capped worn AC by level, so he put in his best guess for what they would be?
