iOS 17 has multiple and named timers, why make a rant when a major part of it is already a non-issue?
To fix your confusion:
Timers - generally considered one time. If you swipe away the notification the timer is finished. If you press the circular arrow button it will restart the timer. Pretty obvious. On the Lock Screen they are clearly labeled as "Done" and "Repeat"
Alarms - by default alarms are set with snooze on. Swiping away will snooze. There is a "ZzZ" and "X" button on the notification. On the Lock Screen they are clearly labeled as "Snooze" and "Stop". If the snooze function is disabled on an alarm the only option is to stop the alarm.
When I posted the comment, iOS 17 had been out... ~1 week? You really think everyone upgrades in lockstep on day 1? I've been annoyed by this for all the 4 years I've used an iphone.
I haven't upgraded yet, so I'm not sure what to make of your comment. But for pre-iOS17 the lock screen notification/dismissal view is anything but "clear" or "obvious"...

How is any of this unclear?
