Why does the driver configure only 2 keys per peer?

For instance:
#define TARGET_10_4_NUM_PEER_KEYS 2
But, there are 4 key-ids, and so the driver can attempt to allocate 3 per peer.
Now, the self-peer probably only has one key ever (and that is blank key),
but that still averages to 5 per vdev (when vdev has 2 peers), and if AP peers can have more than 2
keys, then the average is even worse for them.
In 10.1, I ended up using '4' instead of 2.
I guess I'm about to repeat that change for 10.4 firmware.
But, I'm curious why someone thought 2 was OK to begin with?
Thanks,
Ben
