Registers are quite expensive in space and power, because multiple at once have to be accessible in many places.

If you add more registers, the cost per register increases rapidly, and you very quickly hit your limits.

If you make registers wider, that's still very expensive, and you introduce extra steps to get to your data most of the time.

So no, you can't do that in a reasonable way.
