Why can't intel create a "LGA MAX" type socket to support all future generations? (alien.top)

I apologize if this is a bad question or has already been asked. Why doesn't intel (or AMD) create a socket with the maximum amount of pins possible that way every new CPU would be compatible with a bios update? Even if new gen CPUs don't utilize all the pins it would leave headroom for new generations. Is it not possible going from 10nm to 7nm? Imagine creating LGA 3000 that could support the next 10 generations.

Too many pins makes too expensive.

Higher speed pins too support pcie and memory speeds that don’t even exist yet are too expensive.

There’s are reason that all the HEDT sockets are all super expensive.

And this problem is so important that AMD even started splitting up their server lineup into SP5 and SP6 to bring socket costs down.
