Typing is ruined

iOS 13 has ruined typing and cursor control. It is literally often a chore to make simple edits now. Too many issues and they're not always consistent leading me to believe it's partly bug-related (for example, cursor not moving to the location I tap at, menu with Copy/Paste/etc sometimes not appearing after double-tapping or selecting text, Paste often not appearing in Safari while Paste and Go does, a link in Notes consistently opening when tapping almost anywhere on the note to edit) while others are seemingly by choice. Is there any way to revert it to how it was? Also is there a way to universally disable link previews? I mean really who thought it was a good idea to force these changes?
