This one has always confused me as well. Tapping the screen, as the other commenter suggested, dismisses the whole thing too, so I have to fish for the stop button in the notifications every time.
Maybe there’s “the Apple way” that we’ve yet to discover.
The problem is there is only one little button on the screen that actually stops the alarm. Everything else you can tap or do to the phone while the alarm is sounding will "snooze" it. It's infuriating.
