Do you realise how absurd that statement is? People need whatever is they need to achieve the result they want. If that is a custom column, then that is the way to go. I think you are saying you use tags, but, from my experience, they are almost the worst column to make collections from. The worst is the title, the next would probably be the date and modified timestamp columns. (Using them as the basis for a collections, such as the year added, or "Recently modified", might be useful, but, that would require a custom column.) Then tags come pretty much after that.

As with just about everything you post, you might not think using a custom column is useful. But, based on the questions that have been asked over the years, you are definitely in the minority.
