That's pretty much the essence of what I wanted to say. Just wanted to point out that it is not the end of the world if you have to push with --force, you just need to know about the consequences and if it gets you into trouble.

But in general, I agree. In collaboration branches, you should not need --force in your all da work. I also prefer merging master (or an other parent branch) regularly to the topic branch and merging when ready with --squash and a proper message to remove WIP commits, but this is a topic that involves a lot of personal taste and philosophy, so discussion is difficult about this.
