Nice. Will Apple now also fix the "bug" where you delete a message on your phone, and 3 months later it downloads on your iPad or Watch, and you can never be sure your messages are really gone?

Before anyone asks: No , I didnt turn on any setting to save all my messages to some external server and download them whenever, even if I delete them locally

Is it a bug or a feature though? What's more common: wanting to delete a message and have it stay gone, or accidentally deleting the message you wanted to preserve? For most people the latter is more likely than the former.

What on Earth? No, normal users actually also want to permanently delete messages all of the time.

There's not some alternate reality where the all of people's actions need to be automatically ctrl-Z'd on their behalf without any input.

Dear... Apple users really have a different level of loyalty than anyone else.

I don't use or own any Apple devices, and don't play to. But mobile space is a duopoly, and both sides tend to implement the same questionable ideas in lockstep, so developments here will likely affect Android users like myself just as much.
