I tried to contact a company the other day about something with a complex back story of cobtext the other day, and their website contact us form had a 200 character limit. I pretty much just had to type “please email me so I can email back why I’m contacting you”.
Should have instituted a char limit, that’ll teach you!

Cannot imagine how this could be legit - you’d run into a hard limit unless you explicitly designed that field to be unbounded.
It’s not hard to find badly designed webpages.
Meh, not that hard to default things to “string”, or similar. For example, the “text” type in PostgreSQL explicitly says “unlimited”, though it seems it’s up to 1Gb. See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/datatype-character.html
Similarly, it’s not like text fields on web pages automagically apply limits.
It’s not unimaginable that some dumbass could vibe-code themselves up an easily exploited form.
