Robin, there are plenty of resources (wiki, tutorials, web-based videos, Mapping Parties less so during the pandemic, other people who are kind with their teaching time in-person less so during the pandemic...) to help you learn how to use OSM's many editors to edit relations.  I recommend JOSM, as its relation editor is clear, concise, sensible and has a nice set of features to be helpful and essentially complete.

OSM is a relational database.  If you don't know what that is or how to learn or teach yourself how to use such a thing, the solution is not to disparage the situation as "horrible to edit" based on some wish-fantasy you have of how automatic all the machinations of editing a relation should be, imagined in your mind.  We are not mind-readers here.

There are at least thousands, perhaps tens or hundreds of thousands of people who can and do edit relations in OSM.  It can be daunting, it is a ladder to climb.  Granted, perhaps not everybody can do this.  That isn't a judgement of anybody, simply a fact.

Please don't disparage our tools or the structure of what we are (a relational database).  Criticism of OSM is welcome, especially as it is constructive.  As has been eloquently stated here, if you don't like our tools or believe they need improvement, you could improve them.  But if you can't (or won't) climb the first few rungs of the ladder, it isn't likely you'll get up even further to write code to better things.  Challenge yourself to do one or the other (or even both), then surprise us here with the results.  We'd love to see that:  I know personally I love to see OSM Contributors improve their skills and "level up."

But disparaging of our tools, fundamentals and process and criticism / wish-based fantasy fulfillment at the same time?  Not today.
