/unsigned. They're not going to deliberately make something that unbalanced with the other ATs.
Maybe you should try them as just costume parts...
Dec out.

...oh? You want a reason? Well, ok. 
1: Including extra limbs means new skeletons for all three models we use(Male, female, and huge). And when each new skeleton, BaBs, and his team would have to redo the animations for every single power in the game. So for every power the in the game, multiply that number by three. That's for adding two arms. But you want up to six arms? triple that number now. That adds up to a lot of work that could be put to better use in making new power sets and animations and emotes and all the other cool stuff they do.
2: As Decorum said, they're not going to make the ATs unbalanced so severely. The fact that you and I could have the exact same AT, Primary and secondary, slotted exactly the same way, with the exact same same enhancements, but because you decided for your character to have four arms instead of two means you're doing twice as much damage as me... yeah not gonna happen. That would make it almost a requirement to have multiple limbs, not to mention they would have to rebalance the difficulties of the mobs we face.
Edited to add...

You do realize scrappers don't get either DP or archery power sets, right? Did you mean defenders? As they have access to these sets, or are you also suggesting a scrapper get these sets? Because that I can guarantee won't be happening.

On the flipside, I want to be able to remove limbs from my characters. Amputee Man isn't the same with those silly, dangly fleshthings

Well it would have to be from other players. The Legion of Super-Heroes already did the whole "rip off your own limb to use as a weapon" bit decades ago! Wouldn't want trademark issues. 
EDIT: Now that I think about it, there was an old '40s character sort of like that, too, called Capt. Marvel (no, not that one. No, not that one, either).
Dec out.
Huh.. I wondered what the sound was that was made when a limb was ripped from the body. Now I know it's "Plorp".

Second, ProTip: the Legion only "arrests" villains, so shouting "DIE, villain!" is a bad idea.
Third, wouldn't it be a good idea to, I dunno, HAVE YOUR DETACHABLE LIMB ENCASED IN ARMOR so you don't injure it on that nasty, hard villain?
Fourth, I am not sure if that makes him right- or left-handed. Usually it is the one you fight with, so I am uncertain...
Fifth, does his arm, uh, re-attach? Can he do the other arm that way?
Sixth, why am I even considering this scenario at face value?? It reached Ludicrous Speed in the first panel.
Of course, one envisions the CoH populace commenting about "Arm-Fall-Off Boy"'s exploits, and the possibilities for his battle-cry boggle the mind.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

Yes..."Poit".

"Gadzooks, Brain! What a great idea! Poit!"
Obviously, Arm-Fall-Off Boy is just yet another Plan To Take Over The World!
But I digress.
The volume of potential humor with this guy boggles the mind... (along with the idea that money actually changed hands bringing him to the comics in the first place, but I digress again...)
What term properly applies when, as it appears in the example, Our Hero accidentally and prematurely drops his four appendages?? More mind boggling, and I dare not mention any of the possibilities.
I cannot even use the word *facepalm* within earshot of this fellow, lest I be dismayed as to how he accomplishes it.
This has got to be the weirdest hero I ever saw in a "mainstream" comic.
EDIT: And now, for some reason, I have Patsy Cline's "I Fall To Pieces" stuck in my head!

Well, it should be noted he's only ever a Legion applicant, and never makes the team.
Also found a little bit on Arm-Fall-Off-Boy's spiritual predecessor, the second Capt. Marvel.

I suppose he's mostly 'armless.

Your link is also great. I particularly enjoyed where the article's authors document that "Element X" is necessary for the Good Captain's survival, so he wears it in an amulet around his neck. They duly note: "Since the element in the amulet is called X, the amulet naturally has a large letter... M (?) emblazoned on it. Oh well."
On the one hand, he was an android, so that seems more feasible that he could split up.
Apparently each segment could also fly around and fight independently. Now the mind boggles at the thought of the torso taking a villain on. Shades of the Black Knight from Monty Python...

Heh, Myron Fass was a stereotypical sleazy publisher. I assume the whole thing was over before anyone even noticed and bothered to file suit (Marvel bought the trademark to Captain Marvel the next year and settled it for good, but M.F. Enterprises had probably closed doors by then).

Then there's the original Golden Age limbless villain: Armless Tiger Man, foe of Captain America.
