Ah ..., spoken like a true Software Engineer (they don't appreciate us on this
side of town either !)

Unfortunately, one of the problems that System Engineer has is where do we get
more pins on a module for Inputs/Outputs !  And of course the manufacturing
engineers don't want to increase the number of wires in the harness and
multiplexing is still not cost effective in many situations.
