Why aren't threaded and Hybrid views available here?

If it is such an awful feature that a.) nobody uses it, and b.) everybody turns it off so that nobody can use it, then why bother even putting the code into the software in the first place?

Threading was one of two main reasons that the folks I work with chose vBulletin. Since then, I have had several owners of other software tell me that, had they realized threading was a standard feature, they would have chosen vBulletin over the software they chose.

Of the 5 or so vB-based forums I frequent, here and vB.com are the only two that deny me the choice of using one of the threaded modes.

Seems odd.
