The Axe-Fx Standard is limited by the amount of memory on board to the existing feature set.  Effects can be updated, with new controls and tweaks being added, but expansion is highly unlikely.  The Ultra has much more room for growth.  Cliff has stated his intention to keep the quality of the effects, especially the Amp & Cab sims, the same in both processors.  Thus the Standard isn't an "inferior" or "outdated" product, it simply has a more specific feature definition.
