Ticket #7112, comment 3
initial v1 1 About your question, initial reason is probably historical and I guess that it has been made so to help conversion to/from formats which support multiple layers. Unlike shapefiles geopackage can have however many layers so there is no such need. In addition I guess it could be complicated to handle the situation because either you need to open an own connection for each gpkg in the directory or to use one gpkg as a master and attach the other geopackages into that. I guarantee that it would get complicated to add new layers into such bunch-of-packages.1 About your question, initial reason is probably historical and I guess that it has been made so to help conversion to/from formats which support multiple layers.
