Option Contract

Been doing a lot of study lately about developing my own edge to invest/trade the markets. While doing this I wondered why a Option contact was designed to be 100 units of underlying!

Have anyone here wondered about this as well? Why not allow a trader to choose whatever size! This might only help the overall trading community as well as brokers. This would allow many traders to trade Option contracts who are not able to trade currently merely for not having enough capital to cover the margin for 1 contact (100 units of undelying)

I wonder if there was a broker who allowed this? I do know Robinhood allows you to do this for stock buy/sell but would be nice to have it for Options as well.

Thoughts?
