Why do 9.1.6 Tracks & Busses have meters styled differently?

Not a big issue, just wondering why the Dolby Atmos 9.1.6 meters for tracks and busses are not styled like the other Dolby Atmos formats? They do show each channel meter, just wondered?

Probably, 12 channels is simply the maximum that can be displayed, using the standard delineated style, within the fixed space available for track header and channel strip metering... anything over 12 channels and it switches automatically to the more compact non-delineated metering style.

Guess so, does it for adaptive styles too. Does make it difficult to isolate what channel is doing what and at what db like this though.

Convert to Linked Group? Sorry Sam, I suspect I'm not enough of an audio guy to be of much help. I rarely receive media with more than 8 channels, and regardless, for my work I'd normally be breaking it out into separate tracks anyway. 9.1.6 is above my pay grade. :)
