Livejournal question

So tell me something?

Why is it that, given that Livejournal is an authenticated system to begin with, you can't set display options in your Friends Page the same way you set them otherwise. For example, why couldn't your Friends Page automatically put in an LJ-Cut whenever someone has a post with a graphic more than 800 pixels wide (or whatever you wanted to do), or more than 1000 words long, or the like?

I mean, given that everyone has different opinions of how much information they'd want to see, or the appropriate types... why couldn't this be given over to their control? I mean, it'd be relatively trivial coding, wouldn't it?

I would merely, humbly settle for comment edit. Not that someone I knew from uni didn't, oh, submit a patch for that three YEARS ago.
