The functionality isn't really lacking; it's just that you're overlooking Bill's solution. If it were a vintage synth, you'd have to buy a separate VI for each articulation, and that's not the case. I'd be really surprised if VSL jumped on this, considering they'd only be duplicating functionality already available, as Bill described, and VI reminding people of vintage synths doesn't appear to be a widespread problem.
Yes it most certainly is a lack of basic functionality.
I am well aware of the benefits of Vienna Ensemble, but as I stated, without multitimbral capabilties the solution is to spread the articulations across the channels in VE Pro, opposed to loading 16 articulations within a single VI instance and accessing them with uniquely assigned MIDI channels from the score.
