Probably because VRC had a fresh start with a model to begin with and improve upon whereas FRC had to start from scratch and has had to continually evolve over 19 years. The same people continue to do both FRC and VRC and it's a shame this implied insult was even thrown out there.

In my mind, a 4v4 would take pressure off of teams to create robots to 'do it all' in a game.
If the game were simple yet the tasks complex and the restrictions limiting, teams would almost be forced to specialize in one task and use teamwork to do the rest. Not only could this create more complicated strategies and encourage us all to finish simple bots before ship date, it could help even the powerhouse teams in the funding department since we're creating 10 iterations of a simple machine rather than an intricate one. To me this seems like a logical combination of options given the financial state of some teams.
