But what keeps you from actually utilizing any of them?

The limitation of "potential" is just in your head.

And your "Actual Infinity" doesn't seem to actually be infinite.

So, you seem to just have a problem with your definitions,

Maybe you think it is only "potentially" infinite, as with finite work 
you can only name part of them, but you think you can name all of your 
"Actual Infinity", which just shows that it isn't actually infinite.
