Seems you can just `get` the result?

Not sure what I’m missing that means so many apps don’t do this, vastly better UX.

You’re right! They’re all using the same API, there’s no other better “opt-in” API. Some developers just want to make the UX worse for their own nefarious purposes. Nothing to do with Apple.
