Because its not a grenade.

Grenades are grenades, remote explosives are equipment.

Thus, equipment slots. Its quite simple, really.

RE and grenades - parts of explosives weapon.
It's made for destroy.
Equipment for help on battlefield.
Even same skill tree.

RE's being thrown is a result of the way the game is programmed and a combination of jumping and arming. Technically they aren't meant to be thrown, but they can be. They are meant to be dropped / applied to surfaces. However, the fact they can be thrown is part of the charm to them because it makes people angry and it makes them QQ.

But its thrown ^-^

I don't understand ?

Reduce throw distance. 1 m.
What if you can't drop it in jump.
Time for drop - like 1 sec.
Give people eyes and ears. ))

because grenades are throw or cook and throw.. RE need 2 buttens.. place and detonate.. if it didnt have that you would need to waste all 3+ RE just to be able to activate.

Anti vechile no need.
RE L2 drop. Activate from cross menu.
What about explode after contact.

Give me Good Answer and I stop this discussion ))))

no. i like being able to throw and arc my REs onto a dumb tanker with out putting myself at risk.. total distance may be like 30m but horizontal distance if it was flat ground would barely be 3m

Accept the answers you are being given because they are the answers and stop this foolishness, amigo.

It's not RIGHT answers. i see words not answers.

All these answers have a lot of merit.
But I think the better answer MIGHT be that the game really wants to keep a separation between:
GÇ£weaponryGÇ¥ that is simply to KILL, and
GÇ£gearGÇ¥ thatGÇÖs used to control or access areas of the map (even if the gear is still being used to help others KILL).

ItGÇÖs why uplinks, nanohives, scanners, (and especially cloaks), and remote-EGÇÖs are all GÇ£restrictedGÇ¥ by making them GÇ£equipmentGÇ¥. The team who controls movement across the map, wins the match (itGÇÖs true, thatGÇÖs all you need to win each match ), so itGÇÖs important that any items that give you that control HAVE to be carefully restriceted. Restricted in ways a simple gun and grenade donGÇÖt need to be bogged down with.
A good example is the new GÇ£bandwith mechanicGÇ¥ they are putting into the equipment use, to hopefully resolve the spamming problems we have with uplinks.

So remote-explosives are GÇ£controllersGÇ¥ ( intended to nuke an opponent whoGÇÖs trying to go someplace you donGÇÖt want them to be), and really need to be in the GÇ£equipmentGÇ¥ box, where its use around the map can be managed, if it ever gets out of hand from spamming or exploiting it too much.
Using an R-E for resourceful sticky-bombing and Detonation-LAVs is as much fun-exploitation as the game can allow, I think.

Sentinels with REs.

Yeah. It's painful.

But its thrown ^-^

Simply put I support that change (why do sentinels get grenades anyways? give them damn things to commando's)

the main issue is right now you push L1 to cook it and let off to explode it.

Explain how you're going to use the L1 button to set and detonate an RE.

If it is more complicated than using L1...probably not going to fly.

I was gonna hop on with a "sweet then can I put a mass driver in my grenade slot?! Ooooh and just fire it with a press of the made button!?" But really the second part about the skill tree make a good point, however, activating a remote explosive requires you switching your weapon to the trigger...so...there is your answer.
As for the nanohive argument: other equipment (ideally) stays out longer than 5-10 seconds, rexs (ideally) are either placed on a tank and blown up immediately, or used as a short term snare to end fatties, other uses tend to be more difficult to pull off due to the need to predict the enemy movements that far in advance.

Tap l1 once to toss..twice rapidly to detonate ..wallah

Yet you can restock from a nanohives like a grenade ..Unlike any other equipment

LOL, Minime, logic in Dust is difficult.
If the designers put TOO much logic into each piece of gear, well... the gear will be very boring, because we clever players will develop a way to defeat each piece and make it useless in our gameplay.

If they make each piece of gear substantially ambiguous (not perfect, not completely set for one role or one use, enough ), it letGÇÖs us come up with shockingly-original and cool ways to KILL opponents that CCP never even thought of,... but it also makes a bigger danger that players will get confused, FRUSTRATED, and completely unsure about how to use these suits and stuff well enough to kill more and die less (this is likely to be the biggest controversy in GÇ£how to make Legion better than Dust wasGÇ¥).

But, Mimime, if youGÇÖre using the REGÇÖs to kill players, thatGÇÖs good, and you are doing things right!
Just like the cloak, you wonGÇÖt be allowed to use REGÇÖs as flexibly as we can use grenades or other GÇ£weaponsGÇ¥. But if youGÇÖre killing enemies with your REGÇÖs as skilfully and easily as the rest of us kill with a Packed AV grenade--and you donGÇÖt even feel any difference between REGÇÖs and grenades, you have NOTHING to worry or wonder about---it means you are an ingenious and resourceful Dust fighter.

Being able to bend the rules and use a dropship to land on enemies and splat them (50WP kill), is part of what makes the game fun.

One more. In some games RE is weapon. What about this. ???
