(Usually because they say the number of objects is (main term) + (error term), and ensuring that the main term is strictly larger than the error term is usually only possible by ensuring that the main term is way larger than the error term.) So statements like Linnik's theorem actually come from proofs that lots of primes are present past $cb^L$, which suggests that this extension isn't hard. | |
