Four Smart Connect HDMI ports are not enough

Title really says it all, but I'd really like to know why only four was chosen. Really. I have a DVR, PS4, two Chromecasts, Blu-ray player, Nintendo Switch, Firestick, a NAS, and sometimes connect my laptop or dSLR to the TV. I find it hard to believe that I'm the only one who is often swapping out cables.  

 

Eight ports should have been a minimum. Or at least an optional upgrade to a larger hub. Adding a separate HDMI hub just adds more boxes and remotes. Selecting devices from the input select menu is the ideal method and makes for a cleaner setup. 

 

If there is a larger one that I've somehow missed, please let me know.

@captainentropy: I understand your frustration, as switching cables constantly must be a pain, however I don't think a TV exists on the market right now that meets your requirements. Although not ideal, your best bet is an external HDMI Port.
