iPhone App Icons - Up and To The Left

Dear Apple,

Why do you still decide how my apps must be arranged?

Why do they always have to go Top-Left justified? Is there a reason for this? And why do I only have static icons? You have a clock icon that moves, and you have your Calendar app that changes the date... why can't other apps do this? And why can't I re-arrange my icons out of a grid?

Sincerely,

--Ron
