      The issue

      The new command block state syntax is now mandatory. Aside from the syntax already not matching Java (MCPE-112938), there is an additional issue. The block state part is its own argument, instead of being part of the block argument. As a result, this simple command produces a syntax error:

      /setblock ~ ~ ~ air destroy

      Instead, you are forced to type

      /setblock ~ ~ ~ air[] destroy

      This does not match Java Edition, in which the first command works fine. Requiring an empty state argument is redundant and confusing. The block and state should be two halves of a single argument to be compatible with Java Edition syntax, which is well-known since 1.13.
