Did you read my question? reversing the items of the list doesn't bear on it's starting position visually.

Yes I currently use the ScrollViewReader workaround to scroll to bottom on initial list load. Unfortionately, it has side effects and uses delays to achieve a reliable scroll to bottom. With UITableView this was possible by calling reloadData() before setting the content offset of the list to content height on first load (as described here). In SwiftUI this API is unavailable (unless you use Introspect). - though I had no success with it).
