It's a travesty that there's no UI for something so basic in 2021, that it can only be done by manually editing the URL like a barbarian.

Truly a blast from the past, but not in a good way.

Not the first time that GitHub has hidden features behind URL editing...

On the contrary: A simple, easily manipulable URL may be the best UI. It's standardized, understandable, and practical to use.

Also, it's mostly a toy, so whining about missing UI features is probably a little silly.

Or the simple explanation is that the data from years back is maybe not in all caches and it's a lot easier to launch the feature with the currently already fresh and cached data.
