If the core map visuals had a map style that was transparent (in addition to Aerial, Dark, Light, Grayscale, and Road), then Power BI maps could have two layers! The designer would simply need to place two map visuals on top off each other with the top map having a transparent style. This would allow for Power BI to support common mapping scenarios (the bottom layer is choropleth-based map and the top layer to be a dot-based map).

RE: Transparent "map style" to allow for layering
On the surface this sounds like it would work, but in reality, the two map views would not be in sync so as you move the top map, the bottom map is likely not going to line up. Visuals in Power BI are unaware of each other, so there isn't a way to have two map visuals sync their map view unfortunately (even having two maps side by side with synced views would be nice but not an option due to the underlying Power BI restrictions on visuals).
