It isn’t supported, doesn’t mean it won’t work ;)
They don’t claim support above 64GB because it hasn’t been tested and if it doesn’t work, you won’t get any warranty/guarantee/whatever for it. Meanwhile if your CPU doesn’t recognize 64GB or below, you may be entitled to a replacement or refund, for example.
In a similar manner, I believe that on certain motherboards you may be able to use ECC (error correcting) RAM with Ryzen 3000/5000 series CPUs, even if it isn’t officially supported by AMD.

So does this mean that my older intel i7 7700k could meaby also support 128GB of ram if someone tryes it… 🤔

It could. It might not. But it’s intel so the probability they’ve actually locked it down is higher than with AMD. But hardware is often more capable than what the specs say. That’s why overclocking is a thing or, in the past, you could unlock an extra core on some processors. It’s just never a guarantee and can vary from part to part, even if it’s the same model.
