How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View

It makes me angry that Microsoft CARES SO LITTLE about what it's customers need and how they use Microsoft Office.

There is NEVER any time that I want my documents to open in a 2 page view. Who thought this was a good design decision anyway? Why on God's green earth do Microsoft developers and program managers WANT to make it hard for users?????????

Anyone do Use Case Scenarios any more? Good user-focused design requires it. How about this one? An end user wants to view all their documents in a single page format.  Many end users have requested this since 2022 at least. How ridiculously easy would it be to include a persistent, global switch where end users can CHOOSE FOR THEMSELVES how they would like to work with documents.

The solution is so incredibly simple, I can only assume that Microsoft simply does not give a rat's **bleep** about whether their end users are happy.  I guess I shouldn't be surprised - this is only one example of how Microsoft designs software that makes work harder (instead of easier).
