Why can we still not pick up lanterns?

Why have then again chosen to not allow players to pick up lit lanterns?
Surely in this day and age it's not a massive technical feat to have this feature. You could do it in Morrowind so why not here?

I was also disappointed about this. You could do it in Morrowind, could you also do it in Oblivion? I can't remember. It would have been a nice little touch.

You can't even place them down as lit again either which is disappointing if like me you like to collect random crap and clutter up your house.

Does it provide light once it's equipped?

Nope, torches work so why wouldn't lanterns?

Not that perfect, they set your body on fire while on horseback. It really bugs me when a previous version of a game had something right that then gets broken. How did no one test this?

I found a lantern in a bandit camp that I could pick up, but when I clicked it in my inventory it didn't do anything, I was hoping for another kind of torch :S

Might be that you only use one touch but might use many lanterns in and around your house.
