If this still on your top list to dev team - why Shopify variants not work for your made-to-measure products online, here's a link to a very well written piece. link in the comments bellow.
BTW: Variants are made for stock: a shirt in small, medium and large, a mug in three colours. Shopify's Help Center says each product can have up to 2,048 variants and up to three options. A made to measure awning or curtains breaks both limits at once.

It also has six choices, and Shopify allows three options. Anyway, more in the post below in the comments 👇
