The opposite - it appears to only work on mobile. I'm guessing they envision people setting their phone on piano (or other instrument). You wouldn't necessarily do this with a desktop.
You'd never* encounter a piece of classical music set to a faster tempo than that, which also contained tempos slower than (say) 40, where you'd want to denote both extremes using quarter notes. Ultimately, it has to do with useful ranges of human ability and perception. By the same token, you can reasonably expect an article on clothing sizes to say something to the effect of "XXXS to XXXL", without needing to explain why the range doesn't go further.
* Excepting, of course, the handful of joke scores or works of postmodern classical that would surely be summoned to this thread if I neglected to include this caveat.
Obviously physical metronomes have to have a limited scale. If you wanted to just get into that territory, 208 lets you get there but not give up too much of your dial.
I assume if you want to go faster you just set it to 104+ and beat double.
I'm not a serious musician but it seems like it has a really wide impulse. Not like a click track or striking a wood block, but more like something a lot more squishy or rubbing something abrasive.
This effectively replaces all top search results for the keyword "metronome". Wonder how the sites' owners feel about this. For customers it's just one less click, I guess.
Passes the tab unfocus test. Many HTML metronome goes out of sync if you change tab. I still you http://www.metronomeonline.com/legacy (flash based) because of reasons.

The metronome apps on my phone go up to 240 or 250.
EDIT: Nevermind. Wiki has the answer: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metronome#Usage

Edit: I guess this is an example of a faster tempo. "Quarter note equals 215" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDAsABdkWSc
It pains me every time I search for calendar to do a quick look up and having to click through a link.
I like their converter widget.
I love the whole "Google as a search interface to a bunch of microapps" thing. Now if only people other than Google could add things into these...
If you're not on mobile, this article has some screenshots of the widget: http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/12/23/searching-bubble-lev...
