Yes, you can have less turkey per coop.
But imagine having 300 of them. It is a pain to manage that much every day.
Id rather have diminishing returns on food (You've put to much, some of it spills) than have a rather low cap.
How many people lost their coops for not being able to log on time for various reasons?
It is not a game breaking idea, its just a quality of life improvement.
Even if you overload your coop with 15 turkeys it will last for more than 2 days.
I was on vacation once for 3 weeks and it was no problem, coops are cheap to make and 1 turkey alone last for like 3 months.
Also there is unlimited space in mines for such occasions the crash connected with that is annoying and should be fixed, but does not prevent you from doing it like that.
If you made it so as you say, you'd always had to be careful how much you put in, and using seedbags for filling would be a no-go if you don't do so many fields each day that you throw away 90% of the seeds anyways,
otherwise you waste a whooping 50% of your food, at least.
Best part is, if you care for eggs, not to even speak of hatching them, you need to check them daily anyways, and if you don't, you don't need a gobbler and can vary the amount per coop however you like while still using the same amount of food,
from them lasting anything between 2 and ~90 days, leaving the only "improvement" the space you save, whereas space is no issue anyways.
Add to that, that this kind of mechanic is nowhere to be seen yet, and would likely require much precious dev time that could be used much better in other places.
But that probably wasn't a serious idea anyways, right?
[edit:]
I'm not saying a higher food cap would be bad, but not if it works like that.
A really nice thing for more relaxed turkey farming would be, if coops had more slots, that would both benefit people who play all day and check them multiple times daily, as it would allow more turkeys per coop, but also more storage for droppings, so less need to empty them frequently.
That actually would be a nice thing and make sense, instead of having droppings in stockbins, just store them in coops with more slots.
