You can currently pin up to 5 chats in your main chat list.
With Telegram Premium, you can pin up to 10 chats: https://t.me/premium/3
Sometimes you may want more.
Potential issues
Pinning too many chats at the top of the list would mean that you no longer see new messages without scrolling down in the list. This can result in important messages being missed (for example, messages from a person with whom you didn't have a chat on Telegram before).
Workaround
You can pin an unlimited number of chats in your Archive and in your Chat Folders.
Not unlimited though. There is a technical limit: 100 chats per folder/archive.

Also I don't think that it's a good idea.
5 chats limit desinged the way you can see both pinned and recent chats. If you raise it to, say, 10, then you'll need more scrolling to get to recent chats.
9 is too many, recent chats won't be seen. 7 is so-so, since you can see at least two recent chats. But it would be nice checking it in other screens too.
Pin's allows you to pin important conversations to the top of your inbox. All what you don't need you can just don't pin. All what you can't pin will be postponed even if it important because you need additional actions but sometimes you don't have time to scroll everything

I think 10 - 15 is a sensible number for pinned conversations.

If a user doesn't want 15 pinned chats, they won't pin 15 chats. Simple! So the people who.do, why restrict them?
