For starters, it hides system files by default.

  I think that’s a good default. Most people don’t need to be messing with system files, the ones who do, can go through the extra trouble of checking a few preferences, using command line tools, setting up plist flags, etc.

    Oh so you do know what problems people have with Spotlight, you just don't care about those problems to offer anything useful (your generic list isn't that since there are no preferences, cli tools, plist flags that would bring Everything to life on a Mac)

      No, I learned from this problem just now and think most users shouldn’t be messing with Library folder, etc, which is why it is hidden, and rightly so, IMO.
