Kickstarter's frontend is targeted at consumers. As a consumer, why would I want to see failed projects?

Seeing failed projects would probably make me significantly less likely to back other projects, not to mention how much more difficult it would make it to find them.

Not to say they couldn't add some advanced search option or something. But in terms of features, that's probably pretty low, and I understand them not having implemented it.
