I'm not interested in hypothetical future plugins.
1/N gives us support for multi channel compressors, limiters etc,
multichannel reverbs, what else is there that cares about the
difference between a quad channel plugin and two stereo ones?
A proposal where each group of ports can have it's own number of
channels just brings lots of modelling problems, like what does it
mean if you have 14 channels and 2 sidechains? It's just not useful,
and your argument that it's no harder is not convincing.
