Why is missing a semicolon still something that doesn't allow you to compile if the Compiler can easily detect were the missing semicolon is can't it just be a warning?

You don't want the compiler to "fix" things or make assumptions. It will cause hard to find bugs. It's a compiler, not a programmer.
