Why does Apple not allow you to rename an app group?

Often, when I make a group of apps on the screen, the name of the group is the same as another group. After much research it looks like I would have to jailbreak the phone to rename a group. Why does Apple have no simple way to do this? There must be a reason.

Apple does let you do it.

At the time you create the folder you can rename it.


"Create a folder: Touch and hold an app until the Home screen icons begin to jiggle, then drag an app onto another.

iPad creates a new folder that includes the two apps, and names the folder based on the type of apps. To enter a different name, tap the name field."

Should try reading the manual.
