Pen tool work flow
I use several Adobe products and the Pen tool’s work flow in Illustrator is terrible. A lot of functionality is separated into several different tools that could all be wrapped together into one beautiful tool. The Pen tool’s work flow within Photoshop works so much better! (Make a line, Add or subtract anchor points, Add or break curves, move an anchor point, move a line, rotate a selection of anchor points.) You can do all of this with the Photoshop version of the pen tool as one tools work flow. Within Illustrator you have to switch between a different tool to do every step of the process, adding a bunch of unnecessary steps just to do one simple task. Why do I need to switch do a different tool to break the curve? Having to press Shift+C should not be a thing. ALL IN ONE PEN TOOL WORK FLOW PLEASE 🙏

Taylor, the default path creating tool Photoshop offers today is Curvature Pen tool... and I have a suspicion that is the one that you mean. Am I right?
The just-Pen tool in Photoshop behaves very much similar to what Pen tool does in Illustrator, and Illustrator has its own Curvature tool, and it behaves as the Curvature Pen does in Photoshop.
So I’m a bit confused.
Can you please show a small video of the tool you mean in work? or a screenshot of the tool icon at least? What does the tooltip say when you hover over it in the tool panel?
