You could continue past the cap to increase your companion's stats if you were really determined, correct?
Level Caps and Stats Caps are very different things. The current Level Cap is 100, essentially unlimited given the limits of the human life span. Trait caps are at 12, so after maxing a trait, a Character would have to spend trait points on other traits.
It takes 78 trait points to have a single trait reach a "12" setting, and 468 trait points foo all six traits to reach the "12" setting---essentially impossible.
In theory one could keep getting higher levels so that one's Companion got higher levels, and thus higher traits, but Companions get a lot less out of a level gain that the main Character and sooner or later, the level gains become rather moot.
Summary: Trait Caps and Level Caps are different things.
