everything will collapse into a giant mess once you try and change/remove an earlier feature
In my limited experience that’s true in solidworks too, because every feature is built on the last one. So if you want to modify a feature that’s halfway up the hierarchy, you make a new feature to do it instead. That way it doesn’t break the model and you also preserve the design history of the part.
That’s the accepted and expected behavior, because preserving design history is important.
