Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.
It would be nice if the admin/modules listing grouped multiple modules that resided in subfolders of the main modules directory. This way module collectives (like ecommerce or massmailer) would all show up in the same area of the module listing. It would make enabling/disabling these modules a lot more intuitive and also make it clear which modules were part of a group.
Single modules in a subfolder would not exhibit this behavior.
Just a thought.

I could see a re-implementation similar to our access control GUI where the first level of folders are displayed with the modules underneath, providing more context for the users.
