Why should it be limited to a certain bank angle as long as relative positive g is applied?

If I am right it's a design limitation to keep pilot away from entering a dangerous flight regime. It does not certainly means that the plane will break apart at 65° bank but prevent pilots from entering a situation where coupled effects (let say gust, slip angle, etc...) could prevent you from regaining ctrl or damage the structure.

Some big airplanes even today are limited to 45 or even 30 deg.

You should read the Fana de l'aviation from this month. There is a flight test of the recently restored IL2. I am sure that there is even a more detailed text somewhere in the Russian literature and devs have read it alrdy. I also guess that what we see on the pictures is the result of the old buggy AI with their rate of roll, the one that will makes shy even an F16 pilot (Fort Worth is in Texas).

PS: I hope you're still around to read this
