in theory that's a good idea, practically however the whole thing gets more complicated with every option we add. just making one minor change is twice as much work but the particles are fine-tuned in color and opacity in accordance to the amount of particles emitted so making a change here is more work than simply upping the particle count (at least if it should look good). Plus there is twice the probability we forget something . the download also grows with every option we add (although the particles don't add up to much).
There are many things to consider when giving options...

Having said that - we already have further ideas for the particle effects and will give them yet another overhaul i imagine so there might be hope yet
