It would be rather tedious and annoying to have to reposition or put down the pencil while navigating. Hope this is a bug.

Humans generally have two hands.  

One hand is used to hold the iPad which leaves one hand to navigate/draw, I think having to put down and pick up the pencil to switch functions would create unnecessary tactile discontinuity (learned that in interface design class). In the end though, why not leave it up to the user on how they want to work rather than forcing certain workflows on them?

Yes... And there is no good reason to limit this functionality for those who feel comfortable that way...
but apple wants to have its stubborn way i guess... Sigh... 

Give me a break. There's a lot more functionality the Pencil can offer rather than as a replacement for your finger. It's a different tool and can have many different abilities.

And I'm not sure how you write, but it takes very, very little effort to switch back and forth from pencil to using my middle finger.

If you want a stylus for navigation, you can buy them for as little as $10.

And now have two styluses? One for drawing and one for navigation? Back to the same problem.
