Rather than anything nefarious, I think it might simply be down to the fact that it doesn't justify the engineering effort it would take to create a feed algo store or repo like you suggest considering how few people might actually use that feature.

The vast majority of people out there likely don't have the wherewithal, time nor inclination to carefully pick and tune the algo for their friend feed.

Maybe I overestimate how many people would use even simple sorting and filtering options if given the option.

Makes me wonder, how many people do you think have filters/rules/folders on their Gmail or other email inboxes? I assume a majority have some but maybe not.
