> while parametric regression will only allow you to change the number of parameters

I suspect you mean "the value of parameters" here.

The regression will 'set the value of the parameters'. OPs point is that when you want to change the regression your main 'hyper-parameter' (i.e. one that you get to choose rather than one that the system determines for you) is the number of parameters.

Most Neural networks have other hyper-paramters, but the ones in SR are probably quite interpretable and intuitive.
