While it's annoying and definitely creates more waste than is needed, 10 mg is a relatively reasonable limit. Most people aren't going to consume more than 10 mg THC worth of gummies in one sitting (at least if they're getting something government-sactioned).
In CA, WA and CO, almost every single individual gummie is 10mg (up to 100mg in the pack, the state limit, so usually 10 gummies in a pack). I rarely see individual servings under 10mg ever, its not common.
People in these states routinely consume more than 10mgs in a single sitting - its just two gummies.
10mg for an entire pack of edibles strikes me as extremely low - shared with friends, none of you are getting that high...

I usually eat 2 gummies (10mg) when I want to feel the effects, or a half gummy (2.5mg) when I want to microdose.

When my mom was in serious pain from cancer, I told her I use CBD for migraines. What I didn't realize was that she went to the dispensary in town, and they didn't have CBD-only products. She took a 5mg THC gummy and then called me up stoned out of her mind.
I wish I knew she planned on taking some, because I would have found the right kind for her.
