Apple's perennial lack of interest in truly fixing Finder shows in the fact that they've left this ridiculous bug in there for 20+ years, despite yet another "ground-up rewrite" that was supposed to (or did) happen at some point in the 2010s.
My other favorite Apple filesystem cock-up is the inclusion of a "Contents" directory in every bundle, which never has any siblings. I mean... what kind of ass thinks that a directory needs a subdirectory to hold the contents of itself?
The one thing Apple fixed in Finder that annoyed the living #$%! out of me for all previous years was that you couldn't sort files WITH FOLDERS AT THE TOP. Of course the fix was incomplete, broken in some places at first, including your Desktop directory. But that did get fixed surprisingly quickly.
