Yes it's extremely dumb and annoying. It's everywhere in Apple products, for example your Health ID cannot get your weight for your latest recorded weight in the app. I mean, it's even the same app, it's like the devs can't be bothered to make a smart product.
I think this is because of the way they silo everything, the way they are paranoid about privacy/security (mostly for their marketing, they don't care that much) and the culture that isn't very competitive anymore.
It finally hurts them because the experience isn't coherent and very frustrating for the user. It's funny because the marketing is all about the "ecosystem" but in reality, the coherence is mostly about how things look.
The rumor of a big redesign isn't surprising; instead of working on how things actually work (they wouldn't need to back off some marketing choice and that seems impossible) they will put a coat of paint and make people focus on good looks.
The last redesign was terrible and it took an awful lot of time to get things back to half-decent.
It's just one more motivation to not renew for an iPhone I guess...
