i dont really see it as a bug either. this way i have access to "General" without having to scroll and for airplane mode i got control center anyway
This is exactly what I think is going on.
Apple probably has determined most of the time, you dont need access to those options at the top and rather than resorting the familiar settings and to avoid confusion of where things are, they just scroll you to the point of most use.
If Apple would come out with a concrete explanation either way, I'd love to hear it.
