That's not quite right, it does apply to other contexts. I have just used it to go back to messages from tweetbot.
It's a good idea for iOS to have but I can't think of a time where Apple have "tacked" a solution on that looks more of an afterthought than this one....
Maybe a force touch implementation would work? Light swipe to go back a page, more force to go back an app? That'd be cool
