But is there anything stopping the owner adding another PCIe Ethernet
card?

Please remember, you are not adding a solution here for one specific
machine, you are adding a general infrastructure which any machine can
use, for any MAC/PHY combination. It simply does not scale adding
hacks for random machines. So you always need to keep the big picture
in mind.
