How come I can't choose 48-bit color palette and color picker when editing a 48-bit RGB image?

48 bit is not a color palette, it is a bit depth. I.E. all RGB color models in 48 bit images are 48 bit.

This is an interesting question, though not one I've ever thought to ask before seeing this post.
Although the image has a 48 bit depth, I don't see a tool to specify or measure the colour of a pixel in that image, beyond the 24th bit. The eyedropper and the tools that set colour values still offer only RGB values from 0 to 255, even though 48 bit ought to support colour values from 0 to 64K in each colour.

With the level of color understanding out there can you imagine how confusing that would be? The future may well see your concept.
