Notification Dots in Oreo are borderline worthless

I'm really frustrated with how Google implemented notification Dots. Why can't I long press an app with a dot to see what the notification is, or at least take me to the message or email that's triggering the notification.

My Gmail and sms app have a persistent dot that never goes away even if I've read everything I could see. I'm guessing there's a message and email way back that I haven't gotten to that's triggering the dot, and it's driving me crazy. I'll just be disabling them at this point.

Is it even worth it to go for a removable battery device when you cant find a replacement a couple of years after you purchase it? What do you think/prefer? PS. I realize this is not exactly fault of android OS, but ...
