I don't know the reasons behind the original decisions.
In terms of why there aren't more than 20, the more "consensus" witnesses there are, the longer it takes to form an irreversible block.

True, but in order for Hive to reach Instagram/Facebook volume sharding might be necessary anyway, right?
I'd like to see 63 consensus witnesses via a "beacon chain" (rip from Ethereum) and two shards. In my opinion, DPoS is outdated and we should look at other projects to improve upon it. Validators being required to stake the coin at risk of being slashed is an improvement upon DPoS. That's how Loom works now, with their DPoS chain.
Do you know if the Steemit Inc. devs still plan to develop a new social blockchain or did Hive kill that project?
Sorry for the late reply. Sorry, I have no idea what Steemit, Inc's plans are.
thanks for clarifications
