Why are we limited to 5 folder levels?! It's becoming a deal-breaker for Apple Notes for me

I keep trying to stick with Apple Notes, but 3 of the biggest annoyances luring me to consider other note/PKM apps...

  1. Can't expand the left folder list column enough (to be able to see the full folder names)

  2. No versioning (to recover from accidents or reverts)

  3. ONLY 5 FOLDER LEVELS ALLOWED!

#3 is very limiting and nearing deal-breaker levels for me. I frequently need more than 5 folder levels. Here's a stripped down example folder structure I want; it's 7 levels deep...

  1. Business

  2. Customers

  3. Customer A

  4. Projects

  5. Project A

  6. Scripts

  7. Production

How are others handling this limitation?

I have gone back and forth between Remninders, Things, and Todoist so many times now that I'm annoying myself but can't stop. Here's why I keep switching (aside from my ADHD and Procrastination behaviors)...

Reminders has the best integration with my Mac apps

Things has the most beautiful UI

Todoist has my favorite workflow

Every so often I copy/recreate all my current tasks and recurring reminders to a different one of these apps because something reminds me of something I loved about that app. I most recently duplicated all tasks and reminders to all 3 and committed to actively using all 3 simulateneously to potentially finally decide which I'll stick with. That ended with me choosing Reminders. Today I'm back in Todoist remembering how it flows so much nicer for my style and am thinking of switch back to it. I think at this point, therapy may be needed :-)

Anyone else do this? Am I alone in this irrational behavior?

I don't shoot enough to commit to memory all the various DOF values. I shoot manual mode with various lenses (zooms included) and usually "hope" my DOF is OK (e.g., group of people at various distances). Often, I stop down to increase confidence but may unnecessarily sacrifice ISO. I don't want to tell everyone to wait while I open Photo Pills to check the DOF so I likely overcompensate with smaller aperture.

Why don't modern cameras include DOF in the viewfinder? They know the aperture and sensor size. Can they not detect the distance to the focus point? I understand there is a focus magnification feature, but that's in Manual Focus and I want to use Auto Focus. There is also "DOF Preview", but that requires fiddling with the camera as I'm trying to shoot a potentially impatient group or moving scene.

Seems I have to either 1) Shoot more to have this committed to memory, 2) Memorize DOF for some frequently used focal lengths and distances, 3) Use Photo Pills DOF calculator as needed. Or all of the above. Just seems like DOF in the viewfinder might be possible to save time?
