Why did they pick 30 optional arguments? I assume they just picked a number of arguments way bigger than you would actually require in the real world.

I think that’s the max number of arguments in VBA.

Interesting, that's my memory too, but a quick test reveals it to be 60 now. It's even documented: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/referen...

Wonder if they changed it at some point, or if I'm just misremembering.
