In any piece of Free software, such a limitation would sooner or later
be seen as a bug, and a patch would be available to fix it.

 
Ristretto is ~18 years old by now, and there's still no option to
disable its Windows Picture & Fax Viewer-esque "index the whole
directory on launch" behavior. There are multiple threads on r/xfce
about the performance penalties this imposes when viewing images from
large-ish directories.

Obviously nobody cares. At least, nobody with any ability to offer a fix.
