Because it doesn't work everywhere and its also a choice and you could also have both at the same time.
Personally I prefer the old filtering (select the button and type), over the pop up dialog of advanced filtering...

Ok. I didn't know that is not working everywhere but since i agree with you about the old filtering how can we have both ways or just the old one ?. With above code (from XBMCSetup-20121020-1d4ebec-master) i don't see anywhere in Confluence the old way of filtering except the areas where the advanced one is not available eg files mode.

PHP Code:

    <control type="edit" id="19">
        <visible>Container.CanFilter</visible>
        <description>Filter</description>
        <textwidth>230</textwidth>
        <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
        <label>587</label>
    </control>
    <control type="radiobutton" id="20">
        <visible>Container.CanFilterAdvanced</visible>
        <description>Filter</description>
        <include>ButtonCommonValues</include>
        <label>ADVANCED_FILTER_LABEL</label>
        <selected>Container.Filtered</selected>
        <onclick>Filter</onclick>
    </control>
