It isn't crazy at all, and works surprising well in practice. Mark ring is about finding some place you were before. Usually, at least for me, the document where that place was is known. Once you are there, the local ring can probably get you back to the desired location. Have you tried regular Emacs mark ring? In the current situation, you have to answer a more difficult question: "Did I move to the desired location using Org tools or other Emacs tools?". In the former case, I have to use Org specific ring (C-c &, assuming it is accessible), otherwise, this is Emacs mark ring. So, e.g., if I follow a link, this is C-c &, if I do an isearch, this is C-u C-<SPC>. This is exactly what bug #23745 is about. A user is following an Org internal link and is surprised, rightfully IMO, that C-u C-<SPC> doesn't get it back to where it was before. The crazier situation may not be the one you think.
