I'm curious as to why the number of slots is so small. Surely this is not some kind of fundamental limitation on what's possible (or cheap) with hardware?

Because yubikeys were designed long before passkeys become a thing. And hardware people love cutting cost to the bare bone to save one cent of $50 device.
That's the thing, though - did it save even one cent? How much more would it have cost to have 10x slots? 100x?
