Sometimes when I need to look for gas from friends before I can move tokens I become unhappy. Why will ETH network won't accept the equivalence of  the tokens you are moving as gas but always want ETH.Because they are all erc20 tokens so why is ETH manipulating the others.The other tokens should be able to be used as gas not only ETH.

Because it's not coded that way. Ethereum would probably need to be reprogrammed from the ground up to have that option, making it a completely different code base. Possibly different blockchain. A new one.
