I’m sure the Nautilus and Aquanaut haven’t changed in design but are now only tested to 30m because it’s quick and easy for the watchmaker to do so.

I agree. There is a perception that PP is some artisanal unicorn where in reality most of its models are mass produced. Given that majority of production are Nautilus and Aquanauts, standardized production allows for a greater scale.
