More Strongholds (Not All Need End Portals)

Strongholds are fantastic structures for exploring and for loot, most notably for books and rare items in their libraries.
 
There's a good case to be made for better quality strongholds, however in this post all I'm suggesting and advocating for is the generation of more strongholds and the possible adjustment that not all have to spawn with an End Portal.
 
I have no strong rationale or preference for or against more End Portals, so this isn't making any suggestions towards that either, again, just for more procedural underground strongholds to generate in the world, with or without an End Portal in each. In fact, removing the cap for strongholds in general would be a great addition.

    If a player wants to move to a new base beyond of 50000 blocks away from the world spawn point, he will find no strongholds close. It would be a great addition to overworld, making it accessible to the end dimention everywhere.

    I think more strongholds in the world is necessary as some players in multiplayer have bases as far out as millions of blocks. it is good to hold on to the ring based generation and make it generate much more rare in outer rings. for example in the 4th ring there are 15 strongholds and average distance between them is 4226 blocks as the radius of the ring is 11264blocks.

    now if radius of each ring would increase exponentially and number of strongholds had linear increase, then still there would be many strongholds near the origin and much less would generate at far distances.

    for example at 1 million distance if we had 40 strongholds then the distance between them was 156,000 blocks which is quite rare but it is much easier for players to get to a stronghold as they would only need to travel a 78,000 blocks at max instead of 1,000,000 block, which would allow for much more world exploration and better access to the end for them.
