This may be part of the reason why Gimp has still this limitation. But I
think the broader audience does not forbid high bit depth, it only means
that a smaller proportion of users feels the need for it. Sure, high bit
depth makes calculations slower and means images will use more space in
memory, but the drawbacks of low bit depths are often visible even to
occasional users. Even on JPEG images, 48 bits calculations should bring
sometimes better results.
