Gosh, it's amazing how they just refuse to make this tool powerful. Still can't set a custom date range, or add technical indicators. I mean these are like 2003 requirements for a decent site let alone 2020. Just off the top of my head..historical data, SEC filings, better volume data, options pricing..

I don't think they're trying to compete with Bloomberg here. This is for casual "how's the stock doing" type queries.
They don't need to compete with Bloomberg when they could compete with yahoo instead.
I think Yahoo! Finance is an outlier in that it was pushed by internal management at Yahoo as something they wanted personally, rather than meeting the needs of a large userbase. At least that was the rumor I heard.
