it's only over the last week while i've been using the new firmware and trying to sort collections by recent, reasoning being because as i've already said it only allows one on the home screen, that i realised it doesn't have that feature. i hadn't noticed it doesn't have it on 3.16.0 because i was looking for it.
the comments by posters i've been apart of regarding collections being sorted by recent. have either told me they don't see the need for it or they use search instead. that doesn't tell me why it's not an option when it is on the others.

I have no idea what the above has to do with the discussion we are having about how you worded a post. But as you brought it up...
To answer your question, we don't know. How could we? No one here works for Kobo. Unless one of us explicitly asked Kobo about it, or Kobo came out and made an explicit statement about it, there is no way to know. The most likely reason is that Kobo do not think it is needed. But, that is my opinion, nothing else.
The other big reason for some "obvious" feature not to be implemented is that there are more important things to do. Again, my opinion completely, but heavily influenced by a long career as a software developer and being involved in deciding on the priority of changes in that software.
And if either of those is the reason, the responses you mention above back it up. You had several responses that imply "don't need it", and I don't think a single one that came back with "Yes, that's what I am missing".
And don't try the "no one who agrees will post" because that isn't true. Plenty of people will post if they agree with a suggested changed. And I think that they would have posted in response to the "not needed" type posts.

please explain to me why it appears/seems to be an unforgivable crime not to have read and know every single comment/post.

No, it isn't a crime. But it is bad manners not to read the posts that reply to you or are part of the discussion you are having. You are so keyed up on this that is unreasonable that you didn't look for alternatives or check responses to your post.

all i just did was ask you a polite straight forward question. if you don't want to answer/reply that's fine i understand, but i fail to see the need for any animosity or hostility.

What "polite straight forward question"? Where have I answered your questions with animosity or hostility? That is excluding this discussion started by that post. Any animosity or hostility is on both sides for that.
