why only six family members on icloud+

I have 7 members of my family on my cell phone service. Why can't they all share in the icloud+ family share plan?

Because six members is the limit of a family sharing group.


What is Family Sharing?

With Family Sharing, you and up to five other family members can share access to amazing Apple services like iCloud+

I have this same question and this is NOT an answer. Why is this the limit? Some families are larger than 5 and if iCloud/iCloud+ is going to be a viable option for families like mine I need to at least have more email addresses available, even if the other services (music & app licensing, subscriptions, etc.) must still be limited. If Apple set an arbitrary limit at "X" I can accept that - but are there not ways to request an increase?
