It might be worth learning their hotkeys because they're pretty efficient in many cases (potentially included cases where you want the back button). They work in the browser and the app:

Not saying your complaint is invalid at all.

Thanks, yes they are all perfectly reasonable.

It's just a weird choice to make. It's like they are forgoing the back hotkey to make it seem more like a "native" app. But it clearly isn't, and I can't think of any good reason to consciously omit it. Or... since they are likely using a framework (Tauri maybe? I haven't checked) to go out of their way to disable something that is already baked-in.
