Adding more does not solve any "problem", it just provides an alternate way of finding an item. Unfortunately making changes is not cheap, it costs ebid tech time (money) and sellers time (money)too.
Also, since there are thousands of beads/pearls/crystals in numerous sizes, cuts, colors, shapes, and countries of origin (all important to buyers) will breaking down all categories be far behind? Why?
