Looking at the phone, disabling the lock, swiping down, and pressing "Do not disturb" is a lot more than just not looking at the phone.

Also, that's only half of it. I have to move it out of "Do not disturb" at some point. Or set a timeline for it. Why should I when I just don't need to?

Also, it's been years since I used "Do not disturb". Does it show notification icons in the drawer on top? That's a definite no-no.

No notifications don’t show anywhere.

And with focus modes with location based triggers, you can set it to turn DND on when you get home and it automatically turns off when you leave home.
