iPhone X Why when you forward a message with a picture does it leave a space at the top of the chat bubble?

I can’t believe no one is talking about this, extremely irritating as it lets the other person know you forwarded it, it’s embarrassing.
If you’ll notice in this instance it inserted a space before AND after the two text bodies inside each bubble above and below the link.

Out of curiosity, even if it does something to show that something is forwarded how is that in itself embarrassing? Emails have been forwarded and identified as such for what can be considered ages now, even in professional/business environments, and that's not really seen as something embarrassing (short of the email itself that is being forwarded being embarrassing or pointless somehow).
We are talking about TEXT messages, nothing like emails. Texts are personal and intimate. I’m not talking about work related stuff.
When composing your text message, there are spaces where it appears that there won’t be.
Next time you try to send an image with text underneath it, place your curser at the beginning of the text and hit backspace, even though it looks like hitting backspace will delete the image.
This is just what has to be done to get rid of the “invisible” space.
I forward text messages all the time. If I am writing to three friends confirming dinner, they sure as hell know I'm going to either forward or copy and paste, not write a custom message to each one saying "Hi Friend, I just wanted to confirm that we are still on for dinner tonight at...".
Ok? There are exceptions to every rule. Doesn’t change the fact that this is an obnoxious glitch that should’ve been fixed by now.
There are likely quite a few bigger issues that are of higher priority.

Pretty much almost any iOS update release thread in these forums can give a fairly good idea of different issues that are around.

Maybe Apple wants you to know that a text message was forwarded and therefore this is intentional?
Judging by the abundance of other similarly annoying glitches I’d say odds are that is extremely unlikely. Why would they need to remind you, the person who literally just forwarded it, to know it was forwarded??
Well, this would be in the sense of the recipient knowing, not so much the sender (who would already know anyway).
Again, why would you want the recipient knowing they are getting second hand content?? I already explained that these are texts not work emails. This is ridiculous, apple users will die before they acknowledge a flaw in their design.
Seems that the comment was made not in the context of you wanting to know or wanting the recipient to know, but potentially Apple wanting to identify it as such.
Whether it's likely to be something like that or more of a bug of some sort is kind of up in the air. Ultimately no one here can really do anything about it either way.
Seems like that was simply a possibility that was brought up and has nothing to do with any Apple users (one of which you appear to be as well) saying anything about something being good or bad or anything like that.
Honestly it just seems like any time I bring up any kind of flaw or glitch people fall on their faces defending apple
Seems like a lot of the time simply discussing things seems to get interpreted as some sort of act of attacking or defending -- not everything is one or the other.
