I'm not sure I understand here this issue. When I'm using typeform, and I click "next" or scroll to the next question, I've always assumed that has meant "submit this answer".

I don't consider the entire thing a form, and at some point I may go "ok, I'm done answering your questions, I don't want to do this anymore", and I leave. I don't assume at that point that nothing has happened. I answered a bunch of questions and gave you the data.

Do other people really look at this UI as if it was a single form, rather than a submit per entry?

I agree with you, that's how I viewed it. I've distributed typeform in the past and thought it would have been nice and acceptable to record partial answers given that each step feels like a submission; kind of like if I enter my shipping address in step 1 of a checkout process, it is stored once I move to the billing address in step 2.

I don't understand why you would necessarily think that. The forms can be styled to look like regular forms, with multiple fields per page.

E.g. this registration form: https://tally.so/create?templateId=ywaZnM

I took the above warning as saying that if I type my first name in the first field, then change my mind and go away without submitting anything, then they record my first name.

My actions (leaving after I typed in something, without hitting submit) would in no way look like I intended to submit an entry.

While I think your expectation that there are other forms that do this is possibly valid, I don't think that many other forms I encounter every day do do this, and I would be grossed out if they did.
