What’s the reasoning behind this feature? The per-share price is not meaningful enough to add this feature in my opinion.

The cost of a company is represented by it’s market cap. The share price is simply the market cap divided by the number of shares issued.

For example, a company could have a £1 share price and 10 million shares. It’s market cap is £10m. It would cost £10m to buy all the shares.
Another could have a share price of 2p but 5 billion shares. It’s market cap is £100m.

In the above example, 2p vs £1 is not comparing the size or cost of the company.

If your simply looking for shares you can afford, that won’t be a problem with the imminent release of fractional shares (Freetrade Invest Hub).
