Why is the color temperature range of RGB lights limited? (feddit.org)

For example I have some last gen hue lights 1100 lm. Their color temp goes from 2000 - 6500 K. Why is that? I mean the are RGB, they can do pure blue and pure red, so they should be able to do any temperature, no?

Can you manually adjust the colors? Like slide rgb to whatever? If so, the color temp is likely a convenient software UI choice.
