A great many sets did have more than 4 buttons, typically 6 or 8 to allow for Video Games and VCR's, but the frequency allocation was only ever based on there being a maximum of 4 terrestrial channels. The spectrum was mapped out in the mid sixties and it took until 1981 before the 4th channel arrived.
 
Also dont forget that TV set manufacturers sell to many countries. Why is is that some modern TV's have 99 presets when the UHF band covers 21-68 which is only 47 channels..... because they are designed for the global market.
 
In the US, towns often have a dozen or more channels, but the towns are often so far apart that the signal wouldnt reach the next town.
