If bi-amping is so great, why do some high end speakers not support it?


I’m sure a number of you have much more technical knowledge than I. so I’m wondering: a lot of people stress the value of bi-amping. My speakers (B&W CM9, and Monitor Audio PL100II) both offer the option. I use it on the Monitors, and I think it helps.

But I’ve noticed many speakers upward of $5k, and some more than $50k (e.g., some of Magico) aren’t set up for it.

Am I missing something? Or is this just one of the issues on which there are very different opinions with no way to settle the disagreement?

Thanks folks…

Jordan vs. James? Mozart vs. Beethoven?
lol
I have no position myself. I just was curious what the experts thought.
Interesting stuff. I guess the people who really should answer this would be some speaker manufacturers. Get the ones who do it and the ones who don't together and let the fur fly. 
thanks for your informed responses. 
The level of expertise on this list is really impressive. 
thanks for all your insights. 

Really? Monitor audio sells a lot more than that--I think all their high end have 4 binding posts.
