As an alternative, there's also Native Alpha and Hermit (my personal favorite) on Android. Play with the settings to make it full screen and frameless (no address bar at the top).
On kbin, you can then go to your settings and sticky the top bar as well so that it's always at the top as you browse. Personal preference and all that.
Infinite scrolling not being default makes sense IMO. It's a highly addictive feature, and a bit part of these open source, federated communities is they try to avoid the addictiveness that big tech platforms try to enforce onto their users if possible.
Sometimes the feature is highly liked by people, so they add it as a non-default option.
