" What do the government know about making cars? Look what Executive is
doing to the Post Office!"

That is politics. Not real overt but.
Plus you have the same question up at least twice.
Other than that ???
The answers are correct though. Neutral is there to prevent accidents
and vehicle damage. Just because you don't like it or seem to get
confused about shifting isn't their problem.

If you want to prove it, take your car down the road at 20 mph and shift
it from drive into reverse. Or get it stuck and try rocking it out
without neutral in there.

I suppose you have a problem with manual transmissions as well, as all
of those have neutral between every gear and a lockout between reverse.
