Because these are functional machines so eventually you will get to a point where you are down to just a few non-functional components which don't do anything. The step above that would be irreducibly complex.
You won;t get to any point like that until you dial it all the way back to the margins of the rna world hypothesis where there are no machines..just chemistry.
Just for clarity...you think there must be alot of something that you have no examples of... because you think there must be alot of something you have no examples of?
So we found 3 variants using parts from the flagellum. What is the fourth machine? The one under the pump is irreducibly complex if there is not a fourth machine. Not all the way down to the RNA world.
Below is a list of some molecular machines. Some are irreducibly complex:
