You won't blow up or damage your video card because your framerate goes too high. Your video card is being stressed the most when the framerate is at its lowest, not when its going very high. This is a terrible superstition that tries to justify an excuse for a frame cap, when there is in fact no reason that a frame cap should exist.

it does matter if the fps is going really high. if 60 fps is fine for you, then capping it at 60 will make it even more smooth because it wont be jumping from 50-200fps and it will take a lot of stress off the GPU from trying to create 200fps it will only make 60.

Going from 40 to 200 fps won't burn your GPU.

It isn't superstition. Your GPU will work unecessarily harder when rendering as many frames as it can.

In addition; if your monitor is 60Hz, it's good practice to limit your fps to 60 or a bit higher since anything above 60fps on a 60Hz monitor won't be visible. Most newer games automatically detect your monitor refresh rate and limit itself to 70fps~ as the default setting.

Maybe it's about power consumption or fan noise.
