Oh, sure.  Let's add an extra address line for the I/O.  We really need
over sixteen million I/O ports...
  Let's be reasonable here.  For a single or small multi-user ( < 10 users)
system, you don't really need piles and piles of memory.  If you have an
application that needs more than 16 megabytes of memory, you probably don't
have the processing power to run it in any reasonable time, anyway.  Can
we get off this argument now?  If 16 megabytes isn't enough for you, simply
shut up and go buy a Cray.
