OS 9 came out before that PowerMac though. So it's possible that the G4 either has a specially compiled version of the Finder/System, or there is an enabler (going back to the old days).

I am pretty sure they limited it for a reason. Either that, or apple just wanted to be pr**ks just for the sake of being one.

It depends though. Some G4's shipped with extensions for the graphics cards that didn't have native drivers on the card. Either that, or a special chipset wasn't supported under the current OS 9 that came out, so they amended it just for that.
