Why? Because Apple has abandoned good user interfaces for the Mac a while ago. Look no further than the Photos app, share menu, abomination systems settings has become, invisible scroll bars.

Right, but this is something that has never existed despite it being a fairly obvious interaction gesture.
Agreed
Yep, that’s a bizarre oversight. If you’re going to include a back button in your app, it should work consistently.
I've also just realised that the BetterTouchTool method doesn't translate over Universal Control. So my Mac mini's trackpad can't activate the BTT shortcut on my MacBook, and vice versa.
You can use column view. It’s not exactly what you’re asking for but kinda similar.
How did you create this screenshot? I mean, is there some kind of smart program that lets you zoom in like that?
I got it off Google images
Yeah, I know column view is an option, I'm just wondering why - for a company as focused on trackpad manipulation as Apple - they never brought that to Finder. And since my original post I've noticed that swiping doesn't work in Settings either.
It just seems like a bizarre omission.
Column view has pretty much become my default.
Has been mine since Mac OS X 10.2. It was one of the reasons I switched to a Mac in the first place.
