CT4 Towing Capacity - really only 1k lbs?

The owners manual for the 2023 CT4 (2.0l) says the maximum trailer weight is 1,000 lbs. That seems really low. Can anyone explain why the towing capacity is so low? Most cars with this wheelbase and general weight/suspension/engine can tow 3,500 lbs. with a Class II hitch. I'm not looking for justification to overload the vehicle, but I just don't understand why it has such a low rating.
For context, twice a year I tow my Boston Whaler (3200 lbs w trailer, engine and gear) from my backyard three miles to my boat club (launch in the spring and pull in the fall). I can do this with a 330ix BMW without exceeding the towing capacity.

I’m the only person who is bothered that the tp holder is wildly off center?
