In some cases I think it has to do with sanitary codes; the sewage system and bath houses are sized for a certain number of people, figured at x per site, and they're not permitted to have more than that per site. I think in most cases it's just the management (be it public or private) not wanting to overcrowd sites and to avoid problems with rowdiness, excess noise, etc.
Perhaps you can book two adjacent sites, maybe putting a tent on the other one if they require some structure there.
I recall a funny story here posted not too long ago about a larger party camping together over two campsites and a rather disagreeable ranger. They were eating dinner at the picnic table (all in one campsite), and the ranger informed them that it was too many people on the one site and some of them would have to move to the other site. Undeterred, they picked up the two picnic tables, put them side-by-side at the boundary line between the campsites, and continued their dinner. The ranger was not amused at this solution, but couldn't do anything about it, particularly as all the other campers were enjoying his discomfit. I wish I could find that thread....

YOUR group may be quiet and not disturb anyone.... but you could just as well be a group of 10 college kids.
I would not care to be camped next to that many people crowded into one site.
