Still a three friend party limit for BF6?

Reading BF2042 forums and the like it looks like the limitation of three friends (a four person party) is still there years later, even though they said it was a limitation they'd look into overcoming and something that was expressed as a desire recently when the community was asked about what they wanted from a server browser...

To be specific, since EA Connect party limit is 4 players and the 'server browser' is only for Portal, you cannot play on the main Battlefield servers with the wider Battlefield community with more than three friends.

Any more than three and they cannot join your party, so they will no doubt be sent to a different server.

The only way to all get on the same one would be using a server browser, but since EA are saying they think Portal 'solves' this, you can only play on community created servers.

So... Portal does not address this at all.

I can only imagine they want their match-making systems to not have to cope multiple squads existing on the same servers?

It can't be a technical limitation that they haven't been able to address since the release of BF2042, so what is it?
