Simple, too many lazy people who want everything handed to them on a plate and never bother to apply even the bare minimum amount of thought and common sense.
Thank you for proving my point.
I've been here rougly two years more than yourself, and everything redharvest1 has put in his post above, was there already. They're all in the same place, just two clicks away.
That is primarily down to the aforementioned lazy people.
They don't use the provided and easy-to-use tools, so the same search terms get "spammed" (often literally and including their inability to look immediately above their own post) which bloat threads and search results.
