Move Presentation/UI Language options to Type

I spent 30 minutes in the latest update discovering how to change the default text/paragraph direction from right-to-left over to left-to-right. It's great Adobe streamlined how language is rendered to the Unified Text Engine.

It's not intuitive to discover this as part of "Presentation" under UI language within the Interface options. I guess I understand how the two are linked as de facto defaults, but why exactly? If it's all the same, just let Type and/or the Paragraph panel be the way to set the default regardless, like how most of the other panel settings are; it's more visible to just see which LTR/RTL is selected, and select the one you need, and you're done. No more fidgeting around w English/English w Arabic enabled, restarting the app, etc etc etc. Just see it, set it, forget it. And when needed it, change it by "click", and continue. The button's already there.

I read your post twice to understand part of it. Are you new to Adobe products? Adobe have been doing this (options shifting/switching) for many years, even for us whom are long users get lost in order to find the command or option which used to be somewhere and then end up hidden in another location, especially for me when I'm in the middle of a Photoshop training.

Writing your frustration here doesn't help you or us. I advise you of joining Photoshop beta testing program so your post would be read by the Photoshop development team.
