I don't believe that was intentional, he hijacks the back button so he can use it as an undo internally.

It's just an unfortunate design choice which should have been avoided.

honest bug :) should be fixed!

Maybe you can blame Apple and Safari, and maybe I’m unfair, but if that’s the first impression I get from something related to programming, well...

Exactly. Safari on MacOS has the same problem too.

You should complain to you browser vendor, not the website owner. Swiping back works just fine on Android.
