The quick switch is simply a history of recent libraries accessed. The fact that you don't see a library does not prevent you from switching to it. Like any recent documents list, not seeing a document doesn't mean it can't be opened.

There is no limit on the amount of libraries you can access. The only limit is you can only open 1 library at a time.
The quick list used to have a limit of 25 why the OP is seeing only 8 may be a recent change or
a bug.

You are correct, multiple libraries does limit calibre's capabilities. There are many excellent reasons someone might want to have multiple libraries, but having multiple libraries based on the alphabet isn't close to an excellent reason. However if someone prefers multiple libraries based on the alphabet I have no objection to it.
