I would say it is, because the IEA cannot take the responsibility for it, if it really does grow exponentially.

Like, what if that exponential grow stops for any reason. People are gonna blame the IEA for overestimating our abilities, potentially causing negative side-effects.

So, the IEA tries to "play it safe" with their prognosis.
