The "un-pin" button is confusingly named such that it hides banner functionality

Hmm yeah “Feature topic…” is quite defensible there.

Turns out that if you click the “unpin” button for a topic, it doesn’t actually unpin it, but gives you the option to either unpin it or make it a banner topic.

No, this isn’t so.
