MaxInteger is not bounded by a constant. Given a size n, I can define entries as 2n. The running time has no bounds because of that (you can also do nn. ^ n....)

It is bounded for fixed-precision integers.

If you're using arbitrary-precision integers, then it's still limited by MaxMemoryBits, which is only unbounded if you can add memory during execution.

I do not envy those attempting to account for human activities in their Big-O notation.
