Windows 10: no flat view in file manager

Just wondering why there is no flat view (showing all subfolders and files within a folder) in Windows file manager even after so many years? The program Directory Opus has this option.

3rd Party File Managers

I'm using the older version of FreeCommander.
The newer version had something broken in it (without reinstalling it I can't tell you what it was).

The extra features in 3rd party file managers like FreeCommander are handy:

• Twin panes + Tabs
• Mass Rename tool
• Hash check/generation
• Built-in Command Prompt
• Folder size
• File/Folder:
  • Colour coding
  • Compare
  • Flat view
  • Filters

"Twin panes + Tabs" are extremely useful when dealing with multiple folders (i.e. more than 2).
For example, when I am working with videos I often need 4 folders open:

• Edited video
• Source:
  • Video
  • Audio
  • Subtitles
