For those looking for larger exports please try the formatted table feature. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-bi/paginated-reports/web-authoring/paginated-formatted-table

For more export limit and to be able to export directly to Excel from PBI Embedded, please vote on the idea:

We were evaluating Power BI as a replacement for Cognos, but the 30,000 row limit on CSV exports cripples the tool to the point that we are no longer considering it. Which is really a pity since it does so many neat things.

I agree that the original idea should not be considered completed. 10,000 rows will not cut it for most users. Moving data back and forth between PBI and Excel should be a seamless process. Perhaps an admin could shed some light on the reason(s) that this basic functionality appears to be being held back.
