Why does Chess.com Diamond membership not have this FREE LiChess feature?

Zen mode on LiChess allows you to COMPLETELY  hide your rating and your opponent's ratings. So before, during and after a game you will NEVER need to look at your rating or your opponent's ratings and can play fearlessly (super useful feature that a lot of players love!). 

Chess.com has a Focus mode feature which will hide the ratings only during the game...but that's it. Right after the game the ratings pop up. And you will go back into stressing about your rating!!

Chess.com moderators/content creators - please consider adding this feature, at least for paid members!!!

What is 'focus mode'? How do I turn it on? - Chess.com Member Support and FAQs

Please see my entire question in the original post (specifically the second paragraph). As I have mentioned there, I'm aware of the Focus mode and I use it. The problem is that Focus mode hides the ratings only during the game...but that's it. Right after the game the ratings pop up. 

Can we modify the Focus mode such that it can get rid of the ratings even before/after the game (similar to Zen mode on Lichess)?

Chess.com's strategy is to try and grow the game by increasing the number of people who play it: I don't see Zen mode doing that enough for Chess.com to implement it, not when the existing Focus mode is enough for for 80% of people who want this feature anyway.

If enough people start leaving Chess.com for lichess for this feature, they'd implement it pretty quick: I very much doubt that is happening or ever will happen, though. Seems pretty niche to me.

I for one will rage delete my account again very soon if we don't get a real Zen mode!

I hear you. But it looks like we are a minority here angry. Maybe not enough awareness/support for true zen mode on chess.com

Your main account hopefully, since you seem to have created this one just to make this troll post:
