Why can't I hide purchases in devices using iOS 6?

I have just purchased an iPad for my brother to use whilst in hospital. Unfortunately I don’t have enough money to buy him his own. Want him to be able to use some of the apps and purchased movies, but not all of them. Why can't I hide old and crappy apps on iOS 6 on the ipad, but can on my old crappy windows computer in iTunes??

iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1

As it says on the page that you posted from it's not currently possible to do it on iOS 6 - as to why not I, I don't think that Apple have said, nor whether it's only temporary.

If I hide an app via my computer's iTunes and close the App Store app on my iPad via the taskbar, then when I re-open the app it's also been hidden from its Purchased tab.
