Reduce the amount of "Insert Object" items in StarterGui

As a Roblox developer, it is currently too hard to find the relevant GUI objects in the StarterGui “Insert Object” interface. Nothing too serious, when I right-clicked and selected “insert object” on the StarterGui object in Studio I was presented with a massive list of objects. Many of which were not relevant to GUI functionality nor organization in any way. Since most objects in Studio have a convenient and narrowed-down list, I think that the StarterGui should as well.

The list

Looking at that list, a dozen or fewer of those objects are actually useful. Even fewer if you consider that you need a ScreenGui element before other GUI elements.

That’s what the little + icon is for in the explorer window. Shows you relevant objects first.

Many times this menu does that too. If this is the intended behavior then the interface is inconsistent.

Example

I don’t know what approach the admins would take to this, but making a manifest list of relevant objects for every object would seem extremely time consuming and unnecessary considering there is a search feature. I think they should spend more time working on other things.
