Simply because MacOS provides this information, whereas unfortunately MS Windows does not. When KDX asks the operating system for a list of files/items, MacOS also states how many items are inside each folder in the list. MS Windows does not provide this information. Furthermore, there does not seem to be an efficient way to determine how many items are inside a folder when using MS Windows.
