If you profit 2% every year, whether or not it’s a “requirement,” that is limitless growth.

Regardless, the Supreme Court’s opinion about the lack of an on the books law around an obligation is not relevant. We also don’t have a law on the books about how gravity works, nor one about rain making the ground wet.

The profit does not increase, it stays the same (adjusted for inflation), it doesn't need limitless growth.

If every year I sell 100 bushels of wheat for 2% profit, I'm not experiencing any growth

Inflation is a thing. If you continually profit 2% that is growth vs the previous year.
