I thought fentanyl was basically the limit of opioid power.

Why would you (you the patient or you the pharma company) want something stronger? Just take more? It's still a teeny tiny bit of actual substance.

Because those opioids don‘t just work on one linear scale.

The duration, etc also vary.

And just giving more increases he non opioid receptor mediated side effects.

Plus you wanna painkill elephants as well.
