How is this very specific usecase a 'sensible default' flow for everyone?
I strongly disagree with every one of these assumptions and I can think of several usecases where none of these make sense.
I think the interface is generic because it has to be. One person's usecase (as in OP's case) might be completely different to someone else's.
What they could do though, is have screens specifically for executing common flows together like what they describe, but IMO in no way should it be the only way to do those things, nor should it be assumed that everyone wants to do it that way.
