I can tell you why, because of contracts with the label industry.
Spotify literally don't give a **bleep** about the users at all. darn, I highly doubt there even is a dev team.
Most people say "well, you won't reach the limit of 10.000 anyway (the 10.000 Songs are a lie in so many ways, actually, you only can save a max ov 3333 AT ALL)"
How do you reach the limit? With "normal" consume, and if you discover there are even audio books, and every episode contents many parts. With this in mind, 3333 are not that far away.
But I don't want to create any hopes for you, or me or the whole community. Spotify won't increase the limit, they won't do something about any community concerns.
