Is there a reason why these Road to Opening Day sets with consecutive numbering are split into 30 different sets?

Update: I see 2017 through 2021 are also set up the same way.

Probably because of something along this from 2021 (2021 Topps Now Road to Opening Day Checklist, Autographs, Print Runs (cardboardconnection.com)) and that reasoning was used. 

"the online-only series includes small sets for all 30 MLB teams. Several of the teams also offer limited-edition autographs only found in certain formats."

Or 2017 (2017 Topps Now Road to Opening Day Baseball Checklist, Autographs (cardboardconnection.com))

"...team sets also offer a shot at bonus cards based on the success of the team in question." Which has been offered every year. 

So the checklist uploaders probably looked at them as team sets instead of a full release seeing they were ordered and the PR was based on the team itself. Looks like the Postseason sets are the same way. 

This is something I have wondered before as well.  I know that a couple Topps Now Player's Weekend sets from previous years (that were also sold by team) were listed as one set.  Personally I think the Road to Opening Day sets should just be one set.
