I think most "toasts" (now I know the word for it!) are redundant and useless. I usually completely miss them. I think they are generally "harmless," but they should not be used to convey crucial information.
As for the "hidden panel," I have always assumed that this is a bug, but someone may have thought it was a good idea:
I use the Apple Connect App (for managing apps on the App Store) frequently.
If I use it on my iPad Mini, in portrait mode (how I usually use it), and select one of my apps, the back button often disappears, which means that I can't select another account (I have several), or another app within the current account.
Until I physically turn the iPad sideways.
Then, a Navigator appears on the left, and I can select other apps, or change accounts.
Frankly, I'm really quite disappointed in the whole UX for the Apple App Store backend (I'm not so thrilled with the frontend, either, but I use the backend all the time). It's a bit jarring, when you think about how much care they put into the rest of the user experience on the platform.
