Why can't I merge cells in onenote? Are there any technical problems?

Anonymous

I know we can pretend to merge cells by taking screenshots or nesting cells.

But I want to know why there is no such feature.

why? ? ? This is very strange. Onenote is a note-taking software, no matter what you learn, you will use tables, and tables often need to merge cells. So why is there no such feature? ? ? Does the developer never need to merge cells? Or is there any special reason that makes this function difficult to implement?
