I would say that right now, Apple isn't really trying. Things have always varied from application to application, but right now it's a real hodge-podge. The tiny link targets in particular drive me nuts. I've been using the iPhone for years and sometimes I look at an app and I can't tell what is "click-able" and what's not.

Try turning on button shapes. It's been a major help for me. It may not be as clean as the stock setup but it's far more usable for me.

Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> Button Shapes.

I do think the loss of visual affordances was a mistake on Apple's part. But enabling Button Shapes does offset things quite a bit.

However, I do suspect that not all developers test with Button Shapes enabled. The native Twitter client looked a little "broken" for the longest time with Button Shapes enabled. It took awhile but I think it has been fixed.
