The point being? Check the poll result. There's no clear majority in favour of making this proposed change, in fact there isn't currently a majority for change at all.
Here's grid layout specific one's

Took me 5 min to find those...and guess what? If you don't like what ZOS or the Add-on Developer community produce you still have the capability to create your own add-on so that it behaves exactly the way you like.
There are plenty of existing options to either improve the list system (I use one add-on for this) and grid style addons. There is no reason to classify this as a needed feature.
Of course there is! If even one of us thinks it's needed, the reason is there. After all, we are not Borg.
How is it needed?
1) there is an existing system that functions as designed
2) if you don't like the existing system there are many viable add-on alternatives, including grid designs
Now I don't want it and you do, but in absolutely no way does it fall into the need category.
That said if it is only a want (not a need) then you and I have different opinions. I place a higher priority on new content, new systems, new other stuff. Your priority is on a bag ui, of which there is already an existing bag ui and many alternatives (via the add-on system). I would imagine much of the player base agrees with a prioritization that does not include duplication of something already present. That said I have been wrong before.
Doesn't mean the design is good, which warrants purpose for a debate like this.1) there is an existing system that functions as designed
Well, I don't imagine the addons were incredibly time consuming and expensive to make. You would think ZOS should be able to get this in the game natively pretty darn quickly if they want to. It's nowhere like a completely new UI system.
Again, it could be one of those small Quality of Life things they manage to sneak in with major updates when certain things are done and they have time for things like that.Doesn't mean the design is good, which warrants purpose for a debate like this.1) there is an existing system that functions as designed
@Faugaun Yeah, I agree with basically everything you just said there.
I don't want it to get in the way of more important things either, but if they do find the time to implement this, I would be happy.
It's a desire, but it doesn't mean I think it's more important than everything else xD I still want to see it implemented though.

why not just ask/petition the Add-On author to make changes?

Why should I ask someone that is not a part of ZOS to improve something that ZOS should?

Because add-on authors make mods that they hope people will use, and they therefore respond to feedback from their users in order to provide what they want.

I see you are one of the sheep ZOS was counting on.
