I agree that navigation in a pure SwiftUI app is annoying, but I don't think that was short sided. It's just iterative design.

At the start SwiftUI was something you could add to an existing UI/AppKit project, so individual parts could be rewritten. They've been building on top of that since. Refining the api and slowly letting you write more and more with just SwiftUI

The implementation seems to encourage that "leaf" views have to be aware of parent views, or what context they're in. I used to work with a guy who'd always say, "maybe I'm holding it wrong," that's how I feel about the navigation in SwiftUI. Maybe I need to see a clean example to get it.
