Because it's goes same as here - majority of ppl doesn't support increasing of party size.
It's quite literally the most requested feature on this forum. dwarfing everyone else. The dedicated thread doubles in size all the others. And a second thread on the same topic is STILL among the ten most popular in this section.
Fun fact: that second thread started advocating that a party of 4 was better but unlike the first most of the posts in it argue AGAINST the original thesis.
Even my personal crusade about the current party controls comes only second, and by a long shot. Which is ironic in some sense, because it's probably basically a prerequisite to make a party of six viable.
Once again - replies. Not just topics.
If one would go observe only topics names, to see what features are requested - that would be very misleading. As replies very often proves otherwise.
Funny enough, since supporters of 4-party size NOT spamming counter-topics - they are definitely more trustworthy ppl, when it come to devs to listen and make decisions.
No one likes deal with rage-kids and/or special snowflakes...
Honestly though. I personally can't even bother defending any of sides. I know how game development works, and i know that party size simply with stay with 4. Reason for this - too much work for devs to make it different. And it already been done by modders.
And where mods not always work well in game, they tend to improve over time, especially since game JUST hit EA.
So, if you really want best experience in BG3 while having party-size of 6(+) - you would have much better chances of getting that, while been active on Nexus forums, not here.
