I partly agree. The only things I don't understand are 1) why the slider
has to be so narrow and 2) why it is not located in the middle of the
screen.  That would make it a lot easier to reach and to operate,
expecially considering how today's phones get bigger and bigger but
people's hands don't. I, for one, have comparatively small hands. On my
android phone, the slider-equivalent used to be in the middle thus
making it a lot easier to reach for me. It also had a back button on the
upper left (software) and lower right (hardware) meaning I could use the
phone with either hand. But that's another story.
