utf 8 - Why there are no 5-byte and 6-byte code points in UTF-8? -

why there no 5-byte or 6-byte code points? know till 2003 when removed. cannot find why removed.

wiki says

in order match constraints of utf-16 character encoding

but don't understand why it's important.

because there no unicode characters require them. , these cannot added either because they'd impossible encode utf-16 surrogates.
