Yup, exactly. So can Fire!

Going from -40% atk to -60% atk: 33% less damage taken
Going from -60% atk to -70% atk: 25% less damage taken

Going from -40% atk to -70% atk: 50% less damage taken
And remember, when you take half damage, you're effectively also doubling the worth of your heals.

Jesus christ, as a person who doesn't have Sol or Cthulhu, I'm like, so glad they're cutting this shit out!
... but man would I hate it if I had either...

This does allow for more varied team building. Without that nerf, the only way to build your team would be maximize your debuffs to absolutely 60% minimum, both.

Do you know the exact date(/event) that the debuff cap comes? Mark it in the encyclopedia, please~?
