Because memory space is limited. People who haven\'t coded microcode systems don\'t realize how limited space can be, especially when you have to cram extra icons in, lots of branches in the code for UI choices, lots of checking for incompatible conditions, etc.
Extra memory space is devoted to things like buffers to get the throughput up for the people who worry about 6 versus 8 fps and buffers filling up when they spray and pray.
Would you sacrifice one fps or be happy for the buffer to fill up a couple of shots earlier? You might be, but others would not. In the competitive world of camera specs analysed by gearheads, fps and buffer run size cast a very long shadow. Other doodads and whirligigs don\'t get much notice.
