Why doesn’t Google want to allow Sorting gmails by Sender, Subject, etc…?

I know why Google does not want to add this feature to gmailIt is three reasons:

(1) Guaranteed sorted by date. Google wants to have the messages always be in the guaranteed order of newest messages above older messages so that it is fool proof.  No matter what you think you clicked last, the messages are always sorted by date.

(2) Advanced Searching Awareness. Google is really proud of their advanced searching feature that allows displaying all emails To OR From specific senders, and Google knows that a lot more people will discover this feature if we are forced to use this feature instead of the simple sort column feature that we are used to using from other email programs.  Google thinks that once all of us are used to doing it the new way we will like it better than “the old way.” (This is also the reason why Google does not want to provide a simple button for us to click which will display all of the unread emails, like we are used to clicking in other email programs.  Google wants us to learn how to type “is:unread” in the search bar so that we will wonder, “What other cool gmail search commands are there?”)

(3)  The Nanny State. Most of the people who work at Google are Democrats who believe that most people are stupid and therefore Google needs to take care of us and make our decisions for us.  It is best for Google to force all of us stupid people to do things the way that Google knows is best for us, because, lets face it, what would the country be like if we all had the freedom to do things the way we feel is best for us?  It is much better for Google to take care of us by making our decisions for us.  Pretty soon Google will be forcing all of us to buy health insurance.

    Yes, google wants us (dumb people) do things the “right” (of course under google´s criteria) way . We must be grateful to google, because it forces us doing things correctly.
