Use case: image field set to unlimited, but you only want to show the first on a teaser view.
This is now possible with a contrib module Field Limiter → . We could adopt that code into Drupal Core.;
Note that instead of limiting the output, one could also limit the input for each field instance with Field Config Cardinality → .

It's likely this issue predates Contrib.social: some issue and comment data are missing.
It would be fine in contrib... except that the fact that Views implements all sorts of code to do this. There's a Views refactoring issue postponed on this. That's why I didn't wontfix this in favor of it being a contrib feature long ago. :)
FWIW, third-party settings does also sound like a better approach to me.
