My rationale for two: I don't think we want 1-man-band companies on the
list. They do a wonderful service, but they are more suitable for
consultants (that already have a list) than for larger companies that
have higher chances of influencing areas where Debian is having
difficulties being accepted due to its non-business nature.
"2 DDs" is no guarantee of decent company size either. But it's easier
for us to check than, say, the number of employees in general. It also
gives stronger ground of connection to the project.

Two reasons. First, DD is the only formal connection to the Debian
project according to the Constitution. Second, DM is a slippery slope;
why DM yes and translators, bug triagers, porters, etc, no? As we cannot
check the latter, it seems fair to stick to Debian "citizens".
Cheers.
