> This means there are no new UI patterns to slow you down,

Sure there are, it's a common UI design mistake - you can't do advanced without breaking the basics: previously you could filter your issues with a drop-down filter in 2 clicks. The PR tab still has this (inconsistency) while the new issue requires a worse and longer path that uses a typed field, bringing up you phone keyboard as a downside

Longer paths, especially ones like these that require keyboard input, are especially painful from an accessibility perspective, where for most cases such typed fields make things take exponentially longer than if it can be achieved by just clicks/tabs/arrows.
