Rich Hutnik: 'Why not consider it the same with chess variants?'

Because multiple promotions are only a theoretical possibility, 
which never happens in practice.

I don't see why you keep dwelling on this. What are you trying to
achieve? Find an explanation why no one plays the Mad Queen game, and
Chaturanga dominates the World?

Lack of multiple Queens in piece sets for Chess-type games have ZERO
effect on their popularity. End of story, problem solved. Now let us
concentrate on aspects that DO have an effect.
