Why are we still unable to rotate items, 7 years after release?..

You really want an extra step in picking up a drop? That's crazy.

It's not an extra step, it's an extra option. One that even potentially actually saves you some steps. You'd still pick up stuff like normal, and it would go into your inventory/stash in its default orientation if there's space for it like that, just like now. But if your bag/tab is 'full' but space can be made with some re-arranging (i.e. inventory tetris, but now with the rotate ability), then you can just rotate the stuff in there and fit the odd items in. And of course if GGG also implements auto-sort, then you won't even have to do that - the game will make the space for you as you pick up more stuff. As for how it saves you steps? It allows you to pick up more of what you want without having to port back, in cases where you might otherwise have had no choice but to, even though you technically had the needed empty squares but just not in the right arrangement for that items' shape.
