You haven't noticed, that's all.
It has nothing to do with number of tracks. With AU you can only get 16 MIDI channels per instance. With VST3 you can get many, many more.

This is not a limitation of the AU spec. As was demonstrated, one can get more than 8 instances of VE Pro connected by using both server types. Similarly, if VE Pro Server were written in a way to accomodate instantiation of multiple instances of itself, then one could instantiate as many VE Pro instances as one wanted.
Of course it's a limitaiton. Can you get more than 16 MIDI channels in one instance of VE Pro with AU? No. Therefore 16 is the limit. [8-)]
