Default Breeding for Tinies

I am not trying to be controversial here, really I am not, but I am wondering why there is such opposition to breeding tiny dogs? What would be wrong with trying to responsibly establish a separate breed type of Yorkie that is smaller than the current Standard? And I mean responsibly, slowly and with health, genetics and breed type kept in mind, over many generations getting a mini-yorkie? Poodles have 3 sizes in their Standard, so do Schanuzers, I believe, and all breeds deviated from a common dog in some way, why such opposition to a small yorkie, if the original, current standard is not compromised in the process?
PS I saw the most adorable giant yorkie at Petsmart today. His owner said he was 17 pounds, just never stopped growing. He was gorgeous!
