Those that like a thinner case can stay with the 4 and 5 digits so they have most people that like dive watches covered. Those that want a bigger Rolex dive watch can go DSSD or SD50.
I would guess Rolex has put some thought into this...

Any bigger and it would be impossible to wear it with a tux like the real Bond would do
