Yeah. I see what you mean. I just tested it using the Android Maps app.

You can tap on any of the light-blue alternative routes and the Android
Google Maps app will switch the routing to that alternative route but you
can't push and shove the route to go the way you want using the Map app.

I tried using the shortcut to Google Maps on Ungoogled Chromium but that
too only allowed me to tap on an existing light-blue route to change it.

You're right. I was wrong. I'm not sure why I thought it would work.
