MODERATORS
Until recently it was impossible to browse All due to an issue where it would auto-refresh the feed with multiple posts every second. This and similar issues necessitated a big rewrite to move away from websockets.
Then that was fixed, but it was fixed the same week as the Reddit API went down, so making sure everything was stable and stopped setting on fire under the unprecedented load became priority.
All kinds of other things are still going on, for example there are continuing issues with federation not working as expected which is literally the main feature of Lemmy.
Devs have to prioritise, and "nice to have" features might be a way down their list. That is ultimately the answer to the question in your title.
