This helps a lot in multiplayer, hitting the air makes it easier to flag something, especially for someone who plays on mobile devices.

Does MCPE-107865 describe your issue?
That makes a lot of difference, because on mobile you can't do that. It's a function that doesn't exist on the cell phone, it only exists on the computer.
Tap in the air is a function that was excluded from the new touch controls and I wanted them to come back
It affects multiplayer, when you need to wave to your friend, because in the mobile version you can only punch if you have a block in your sights, but in the air it doesn't hit
