Why are the returned streams limited? Is there a technical reason for
the limit?

Bandwith. A list of 2000 streams weighs about 700kB uncompressed or 124kB compressed. Everybody does not have hispeed internet access.

I have Slimserver set to drag over 2000 streams but I have

SlimServer 6.x introduced non-blocking web requests - before that (and SB2's huge buffer) downloading a list of 2000 streams would most probably have interrupted playback. And I did quite a few optimizations in the plugin to reduce the time used to parse and process the stream list.

no way of knowing (without counting em) that it is getting that many
:-)

You can go to the player's "all streams" menu: there will be the number of streams on the top line of the display.
