Possibly whatever specific company Intel was
contracting with to supply
lead frames and ceramic packages didn't yet offer higher pin count
packages, but they obviously were available from some vendors since
other semiconductor companies like Fairchild and TI were using them.

Hi
My understanding was that Intel wasn't using them and they
didn't expect to sell enough uP chips to make it practical to use
a larger size. Later designs did use more pins.
