This option was intentionally left out for a few reasons. Mostly, the UI just isn't polished enough for assets. There are no previews, the columns don't work and don't make sense ("Date Modified", "Size"), drag & drop doesn't work as expected (need to drag the icon, dragging elsewhere box-selects -- drag & drop is way more important for assets than for the file browser), etc.
Plus, I'm working on rewriting the UI to use the new view system instead of reusing the file browser (T95653: Split Asset and File Browser frontend, implement Grid View). Having to do this for multiple display modes would make this take significantly longer to complete.
