It’s a special mode called secure access. You cannot actually access any existing data from it; but taking camera photos is a primary action that people use their phones for. Why wouldn’t you want to accelerate that?

I suppose. I rarely take photos with my phone. It's really one of the least used features of the device for me. When I activate the camera from the lock screen it's always unintentional and it's an annoyance. It would be nice to at least have the option to disable that.
Edit: I discovered that in iOS 26 you can disable the "swipe" activation of the camera on the lock screen. I've done that and it should remove one of my major annoyances with the phone.
Not to mention with this feature, I don't have to hand an unlocked phone to a stranger if I want a photo taken.
