Why only one materia slot for weapon, armor, and shield? Possible Alternative.

A part of me wonders if having 15-20 different magic item slots is a relic of the past that needs to be simplified downward to accomodate for a more class/item build centric style game which is what this system seems to be going for. I.e. less number of item slots for singular bonuses of +2 here or +4 there, and fewer, more encompassing item slots for more interesting gear. This could even pave the way for set gear like Genji.
