If I had to guess, I would guess because PG and YC does not want to allocate too much resources to building it out as well as YC. They still add features, but I think I read somewhere before that every resource they spend on developing HN is resource and time that could be spent doing something else (opportunity cost). So they probably do the minimum needed and maybe a few features here and there from time to time and scaling fixes but overall probably not going to push huge changes. It's basically Craigslist.

It would be good to be able to search on mobile (with the search box on the bottom), but you can't hit Enter and have to go over to hnsearch. Unless there is another way?
