As a developer I can tell you that often making any significant change to a UI takes far more time than the average end user would believe.
For instance to do what is called for here, You would need to create a table in the DB to represent every view into each realm with a binary field to represent whether each node is presently expanded or not. Then every time that view is displayed you would need to query the DB to get all that state information and then walk the tree and toggle each node correctly.
Which is all certainly doable but if you'll go look you'll notice complaints about how long it takes to switch topics and views right now. This would make it even slower. So the question becomes is it worth it until there is time to work on performance tuning?
When you're dealing with small software projects sometimes you have to wait for features that other programs have.
This feature is desirable but not nearly as desirable to LWD as the Content Market or the Calendar or, probably, export.
