Reason for cap on media per post?

So I was doing a preview for an Indy 500 race online, assembling various video clips from the net together in a post, and found out that there is a cap on media, so I had to create two posts due to no more than 5 videos per post being allowed. Any particular reason for this?
 
Video players are "heavy" elements which are taxing for web browsers to render on the page. Including more than several players on a page can slow down or crash even fast, modern computers; not to mention tablets and mobile devices.

If you want to feature a lot of videos in a post you should link to them, not embed them all at once.
