Above, we have modeled the physical limit to be quite simple; at the cost of tractability, the limit could be generalized to incorporate a general decline rate or even other physical features.
Academic text (2001) -
This is a cost of tractability.

Etymology
Tractability keeps the idea of being 'manageable' in computing. The root tract means 'to pull', so a tractable problem is one a computer can handle and solve in a short time or with reasonable effort.
