List item limit 5000 details

I don't like the way Sharepoint has implemented the logic for 5k item. Consider a scenario where there are 7k items in the list in form of documents and folders. A non admin user clicks the list, Sharepoint at that time goes to SQL and fetches 1st 5k rows of data. In the UI you will by default see 30 items per page due to pagination. The user starts going next next and when it reaches 5k limit, it does not complain ithe browser keeps spinning!!!

I don't understand why it does not tell the user the reason it cannot process. More important, I don't like fact that since it is paginating why it needs to pull all 5k first time the user accesses the list.
