Yeah, but of the 12 pins on the Jaguar, 4 of those were grounds. This was done to try to make each interface easy to wire. Using a unified connector accomplishes the same thing (and an interesting alternative).
Let's speculate.. that's fun. What I suspect is we'll find there is a certain amount of pin multiplexing (peripheral signals that share the same pins; the firmware connecting a single peripheral to a pin based on configured usage). Very common on MCUs.
Assuming that a connection can be established across either the CAN, USART, or SPI connection for control, that needs 6 of the 10 pins on the connector be distinct. Add 2 more for power and ground. That leaves 2 signals for a sensor.
End speculation.
However it ends up, it will be well thought out I'm sure.
