D&D General D&D 6e comes out, and the game also makes use of these dice, your thoughts?
I feel that someone needed a good editor to hold them back from excessive granularity.

I'm the Straw Man in your argument
I plan to run a Dungeon Crawl Classics game this summer and bought 4 packs Zocchi dice.
This would not be an issue
Edit: I think adding more dice would be a terrible idea if I didn't already own the dice though

If you’re willing to try it, my 54 Fantasy system (that uses a deck of cards instead of dice) does exist.

I would much prefer fudge dice, re-numbered lower-size dice (e.g. "d5" that is a ten-sided die with two 5 faces, two 4 faces, etc.), and using variants, such as triangular bipyramid d6s and rhombic dodecahedra.
That last one though is just because I love rhombic dodecahedra.

And branding now - rolling weird dice is part of the brand.
Where would the game be without the d8?
I could see them conceptually, but I don't think they'd really add anything to the game. Because of the d20, we actually don't even need the d10, and could stick with polyhedrons.
Blame the ancient Hindi mathematicians for inventing it, or Al-Khwarizmi for popularizing it. The 12 might have been considered the "perfect number," but In reality I don't think it matters. We really should have everything based on one or the other though.

They're very important when it comes to the "dice chain" system, where you roll up or down it depending on circumstance. Works nicely for giving players bonuses or minuses, without needing to think of a modifier. Kind of that game's advantage/disadvantage mechanic. Anyway, more dice helps gives it more granularity so that going down the dice chain doesn't immediately go from a d20 roll to a d12.
