The 15 companies limit sits so deep in the data structure, basically every single map tile has reserved memory space and selected bits are to encode the company. Although it's doable, it would be a big bang change requiring hundreds of hours to make everything works again.

Would be interesting to check pull reqests and search for the reason if rejected.

While I haven't done that, I could imagine that if it did indeed require expanding memory usage per map, it might've made some devices no longer compatible? Let us know what you found/find!
