Even my cheap Android phone does this better, although I wish there were more modes like triple, short then long, 2 short then long, or changing action for when screen is locked vs unlocked (e.g. flashlight when locked, toggle VPN when unlocked).
But it’s at least something.

Yes, one thing at a time.
Each action requires a long press. A short press would show you the ringer state if you were looking at the screen, or prompt you to long press if you set it to control other functions.
If my phone is in my pocket, a short press does nothing, it wouldn’t even give me a short vibrate to inform me that the phone is on silent.
This has to be the biggest oversight of this button.
