How is text selection badly broken on iOS for at least a decade?

I seem to have it working just fine, though am not sure how I may have configured it to do such, without dedicating such to memory.

It’s really really inconsistent. Sometimes select all is available, sometimes not. Sometimes the handles don’t work. Selecting text in a scrollable region is fiddly, etc.

I’ve seen an insane drop in the quality of swipe typing recently as well. To the point where I’ll often go back to regular typing. I’ve made maybe six or more corrections just to this paragraph alone.
