If you would call it the designer of an average car's fault that you can't transport a grand piano in it. PA is for 'consumer' use, its scope ends at ITU 5.1 or so. It doesn't support any serious multichannel card (like the the comlete RME series, up to 64+64 channels). Users of such cards don't need or want PA, so it's really not a problem at all. If you use such cards you probably have Jack running, and if you really want PA you can configure it as a Jack client.
