8 tonnes isn't the limit of what it can launch to GTO with recovery of all three stages, it's just the maximum size of the established GTO launch market. They're priced to compete with the market. They want to negotiate prices on a case-by-case basis for services people can't easily find elsewhere.

I mean it's mainly the structure that has to be designed. They know how to do instrumentation, sensor suites, computers, comms, power, and the engine is pretty fleshed out. Just gotta throw all of their existing tech into a phatt BFR shell and stick some raptors on the bottom.
Super simplifying it all, but the fact is that it's not exactly unknown territory.
