If they are going to make you a rich rogue trader, go all out with it.

I should be able to afford infinite grenades and the best guns in the game. Hell they should be on the ship already. But of course its video game mechanics can only buy 5 grenades at a time and only if you do XYZ ABC. Thats unrealistic. If I want to have max grenades I can carry i should be able to do that as a rogue trader.

Not to mention you get an entire Forge World able to build Tanks, Weapons and whatever the Warmonger heart desires.

Did you know that 40k is created from a Tabletop game that also limits your amount of grenades? Shocking.

You are aware that the tabletop doesn’t restrict the number of grenades you can use and the ttrpg for Rogue Trader has them as basically common enough to procure thousands easily?

Sure it does, each squad can only make one attack using the profile of the grenade (at least, what I recall from the past several editions)

That’s never been the case. Except in 2nd edition with certain special grenades.

It's literally always been the case, under the grenade rules. I mean, in 9th ed it was very clear only one model from a squad could throw a grenade per time it was chosen to shoot. Seriously, just go look at the 9th ed rules. In 10th, it's been turned into a stratagem. In 5th, once again it was 1 grenade per unit per time it was chosen to fight.

Now, if you mean the RPG, different story I suppose.

What Kadaeux said aside, this seems pretty irrelevant to the original post. The original point is that they should be able to ACQUIRE (e.g. "buy") as many grenades as they want.

That's . . . an entirely different game (hell, in an entirely different GENRE) with an entirely different ruleset.

The whole point is that 40k is a game series before anything else and has rules and limits that don't always make sense, because it's a GAME.

Games try to worldbuild to create illusion of choice and suspension of disbelief. Being a multi planet scale leader as a fabled rogue trader but limited to only buying 5 grenades if I do XYZ is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ immersive breaking. Its one of those things where okay its a game mechanic, they wanted loot to be a core part of the game and you cant really have that if you start with everything. But ♥♥♥♥ it i would prefer if they went for immersion over a typical crpg loot system and let me customize whatever battle gear I wanted because I am a rich rogue trader.

Reminds me of that scene from Eagle Ordinary with the commissar just throwing an entire box of Krak grenades at a monster while going "NOPE!".

Ahhh, I miss that comic..
