You asked, we answered! "If the Quran allows a Muslim man to marry four wives, why did the Prophet Muhammad have more than four wives?" Dr. Shabir says Quran 4:3 emphasizes doing justice to widows and orphans at a time when a welfare system hadn't been established. He says the verse doesn't rule out the possibility of having more than four wives, though he emphasizes that the optimal choice is to have one wife. He discusses the Prophet's marriages, showing that they were for the sake of political and social good.
