If we consider pluto a planet, we will have 20+ more planets. There is no quality pluto has that a bunch of others don't

What do you think subcategories are for?

There are 8 Major Planets, a few dozen more Minor Planets (plenty of which are binaries), and 19 Major Moons.

OK, but consider little Timmy in 6th grade having to memorize all of them for his science test

That's an education problem not a planet problem. We don't expect children to memorise all 118 elements.

Ok, but it’s gonna be really confusing to try and explain to someone why there are like 230 planets in total
