I think mainly it's to accommodate UTF-16. The surrogate pair scheme is
sufficient to encode up to 16 supplementary planes, so if Unicode were
allowed to grow any larger than that, UTF-16 would no longer be able to
encode all codepoints.

Another benefit of fixing the size is that it frees the other 11 bits per
character of UTF-32 for packing in ancillary data.
