SwiftUI/Widget - Why the `Text` for `Date` takes so much space in HStack

Question

Why the Text for Date takes so much space.

var body: some View {
    VStack{
        HStack(alignment: .top, spacing: 0) {
            VStack{
                Text(entry.date, style:.relative)
            }
            .background(Color.yellow)
            Text("ago")
        }
        
        .font(.system(size: 12))
        .foregroundColor(.gray)
    }.padding()
}

I would like to display the ago static text right after the dynamic date Text element in HStack

Answer 1

I can simply do this:

Text("\(entry.date, style: .relative) ago") and there is no need for a HStack
