So what some are taking issue with here and how it works is how the feature is implemented right now and not a bug in how it is performing. People need to understand that. If you want it to work differently that is a feature request. As has been mentioned, it is available where the delete gesture is available for sighted people within built-in apps and features, not in third party apps. In the built-in apps it does not do the same thing on all screens because the delete gesture for the sighted people does not either.
