Every ladder ever sold has a warning that says "Do Not Step on Top
Step."
Well, if they dont want anyone to step on the top, why the hell do
they put that top step on the ladder. And why do they call it a
"step", if you cant STEP on it....
I vote to remove the top step from all ladders. Having to read all
those warnings everytime I go up a ladder is distracting and one of
these days I am going to fall off the ladder while reading those damn
warnings.

If they remove the top step, then the next step becomes the next step
(the new top step). Since you can't use that one either, that would
have to be removed. Then the 3rd step becomes the top step.... so on
and so forth.... Pretty soon you have 2 sides with no steps... :-)
