More future sections in "Group By: Due Date" before lumping all into 'Future'

The ability to group by due date in List View is helpful. However, it's not helpful how it doesn't group future due dates day-by-day beyond 6 days into the future. For people who are tracking deadlines where it's important to stay on top of them more than 6 days in advance, this is a huge limitation.
I assume that the reason it goes until 6 days may be for clarity purposes. Because the groupings are labeled by the day of the week and if today is Thursday for example, and it had more than 6 days, the 7th day's grouping would be labeled "Thursday," and the 8th, "Friday," which would also be tomorrow, etc.- I could see how that might get confusing. However, this confusion could be easily avoided if beyond the 6th day perhaps, it used a different date format. I think Long date would look better personally, like May 18th, 2023, or Thursday, May 18th, 2023.
Either way, I just think that all tasks that are due more than 6 days in the future being lumped into a big "Future" section, is not useful. I think many agree, in this post, https://clickup.canny.io/feature-requests/p/group-by-due-date-beyond-tomorrow. I wanted to my own post even though the topic is similar because I didn't think it captured exactly what I wanted. It's also from 2019 and didn't seem gain as much traction as I think it should.

You make a solid point, grouping everything beyond six days into a single “Future” bucket really limits proactive planning, especially for deadline-driven work. A clearer date format could preserve usability and make long-range tracking more practical, similar to how ohio digital advertising and search services https://pearllemon.com/ohio-ppc-seo-services/ rely on visibility well ahead of time.

If I could set ClickUp to group tasks into days for two week time window (instead of one), it would help my work a lot.
I simply always want to see my next week, which is not possible in list view at the moment.
