I was pretty sure this question would come up. As I understand it, several of those first 16 channels have always been reserved for possible use by harmony (channels 8-9, or 5), and by individual guitar strings (channels 11-16). Click on the MID icon, then select Options, Help and you'll see this.

Of course, if we could choose what to include on any track instead of those, I'm all for that. I never need the individual guitar strings, and only rarely use the harmony tracks. Another approach would be to support a second bank of 16. Then I think we would be constrained only by system considerations (RAM, disk throughput, and CPU speed).
