Anyone able to restart the stream if you missed the first few minutes or are we living in a world where AI will cure cancer but Apple can't build a "Watch live / Watch from start" button ?

can confirm, not able to scrub backwards. Maybe it requires iRewind™ premium?
You can't scrub back and forth on the timeline until the live stream is finished.

No kidding. I missed the first 16 minutes because something needed my attention. I'd like to be able to restart the stream.

there’s also a YouTube live stream that lets you go back

YouTube has a "disable DVR" toggle that disables the seek bar. There is a workaround, but I'm not sure if there's one that work in-browser.
This UserJS worked for me with Violentmonkey - https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/485020-dvr-chan-force-enab...

What is the non-browser workaround? E.g., can streamlink do it?

Does it ? I can pause but I can't seem to go back. Clicking on the timeline does nothing. Clicking on the "live" indicator does nothing.
This isn't letting me drag back either.
Yeah, explicitly disabled. Corporate control freak behavior - that tracks.
