Arguably the icons in Control Centre do reflect that. The WiFi icon has three states - blue (on), grey (not connected) and with a strike-through (totally off). However you use airplane mode to activate the latter, not the toggle.

I don’t think it counts unless someone who doesn’t know about the change can actually figure it out.

So how would you turn off WiFi while retaining mobile broadband?

Oh you cant?

This is just crazy bad UX. Apple is completely losing it.

You can. You'll have to navigate to WiFi in the Settings app for it though.
