D&D 5E Thoughts Regarding the Number of Attuned Items

The way I see it they already did that.
You can have 3 major attunements, and an unlimited number of minor attunements....

Nah, that doesn't do it at all. Even just in terms of requiring an attunement process, because that means you can't just toss magic items back and forth.

Major Attunements take 1 hr to attune
Minior attumenents take 1 round to attune.

I'll just assume you understand what I mean and are tangentally having fun

Thoughts Regarding the Number of Attuned Items

Officially, someone can only attune three attunable magic items. I've been getting into arguments with my players regarding this restriction. They believe that this is too restrictive, while I maintain that the reason for this restriction is to maintain bounded accuracy and prevent the group from hoarding magic items and growing too powerful.

I would like to know the thoughts and ideas of the community around this restriction. What are your experiences? What are some alternative suggestions? Is it unbalanced?

I intend to let players attune to one item per proficiency bonus.
