why do websites, where you buy stuff, still need that “don’t use the browser back button to click away when you are making a purchase”. Have we not got a better solution?

The back button makes the browser send the request it sent before the previous one (if you click multiple times, it will go back deeper in the past). It doesn’t undo the last request.
If you did a request before that added something to your cart or bought something, you can’t undo it with the back button. If ever you go back on them, you might either get them again or it might realize it’s the same request and not redo it, but it will still not undo it. If you go back to your request before that, you’ll go to where you were before the getting the item in your cart or purchasing it, but it don’t cancel that, since the back button never send undo request.
If you got a item in your cart, it should be trivial to remove it by clicking on a delete button or an x button. Those will send request to remove them.
If you purchased an item you don’t want. You’ll need to cancel the purchase, which can be a bit more complex, and not always be accepted.
