Because you're moving the goalposts. The Siglent way isn't the natural, logical, most useful way to work. If you want the full memory you have to work zoomed out without being able to see any detail, press STOP, then zoom in.

Here again you display knowledge lacking.
What prey tell is the Siglent way ?
Did you miss the bit where I mentioned those Siglent DSO's that offer Memory Management.

Goal posts ?
Different usage style just as Pico and LeCroy offer is quite natural for anyone using those brands.

Go pick a squabble with LeCroy converts for example and see how you get on.  :horse:

I'll leave this here from SDS814X HD as an example of a valid use case, that being able to pan through a record to examine it in detail.

I'm naught but a self-taught hobbyist when it comes to electronics in general, but I have been using an old analog Tektronix scope for 30+ years - but last night when my long-awaited Siglent SDS804X HD arrived was the first time I've ever even touched a DSO.

There is much to be learnt about SDS800X HD capabilities here:

Further, to assist others with these DSO's, general questions should be asked here to help serve as guidance for others:

Dave certainly didn't expect it.

Didnt expect what? Didn't know zoom out was a "thing" ? probably, zoom out is some obscure corner case that no-one was ever mentioning or talking about until a particularly noisy member on this forum decided to blow it out of proportion.

Dave jumped on the bandwagon and fuelled the flames.

Is it relevant to beginners or most people using scopes? No. There is no general use case for it. Despite all the noise it hasn't seen a significant practical use described over the well established tools of zoom windows.
