Lol, so late for them to supports bech32 addresses, blockchain.info was my first wallet since it was the most famous at that time but I've left it more than 3 years and never use their wallet and block explorer again since then. There are other options such as blockexplorer, blockcyhper, and blockstream.
However, the most significant bitcoin transaction occurs in exchanges but most of them don't want to use segwit addresses, we know why, but still it's like a betrayal of the development of bitcoin and their clients to get more profit.

I actually left blockchain.com for btc.com but now blockchain finally supports every address format I can switch back to what I am used to.

I'm a sucker for blockchain's design as that is what grew with me throughout the years. Nostalgia I can almost call it. Thanks for the heads up.

I don't think blockchain.com explorer is that bad , but it would be better to avoid using it for several reasons , like :
Missing updates for two years.
Wost support ever.
The explorer also doesn't show up input data as explained in this quote :
Using the block explorer, it's easy to understand the output, but the inputs are actually hidden here, I tried to explain how inputs are originated by showing the output from previous transaction(Bob's output).

Blockchain.com explorer indeed hide the inputs of the same address

There is are some blockexplorer which don't hide them.
Take a look here

You can see that there are two inputs from the same address in both explorers

I won't make images because I am lazy, but you can check the links;)

The explorer also doesn't show up input data as explained in this quote :

they actually changed that too! now the transactions show all the input and outputs even if it doesn't belong to your address anymore.
that feature wasn't actually a bad thing if you ask me, it shortened the size of the data they showed you and you could see a very simplified view which is why i liked it in first place. then there was the "advanced view" option at the bottom that you could use to see everything.
now it shows everything by default and the page becomes too big for those addresses that do a lot of consolidation or make lots of payments with one tx. and it is annoying!

Lateness to the party is allowed and its one of the features of blockchain.com and this is not different which is the reason why other wallet explorers have really gone ahead of them. I could remember in that same 2017 when there is split for the bitcoin cash, they contributed to the panic as people who have no understanding of the crypto market were in limbo while some eventually had to withdraw because they were not sure blockchain.com would credit them their bitcoin cash. Eventually, they did but after a lot of people had moved on, claim their bitcoin cash on other platforms in a seamless manner at that. The moment SegWit became operational, of the sites to enjoy it with the innovation that comes with it, I wrote off that platform as one to look out for.

I'm surprised this has happened actually. I assumed they'd be forever ordered by our friend Roger to not accommodate BlockstreamBorgLizardAxacoin in any way whatsoever.

Still, their wallet will likely never, ever, ever get Segwit.
