I'm sorry about the previous response. On the whole this community is friendly and practical.
Yes this is unfortunately how app review process has always worked. When wait times were lower it was less of an issue, but with wait times being as high as 30 days it's become a big problem.
My advice would be to stick with the process as opposed to re-submitting. You will be in the queue, it's just very long.
