Just curious, why not just show numpad/pattern input all the time then?

Because in the standard lock screen you see notifications. iOS switches from the lock screen to the numpad when it detects a facemask, or after a timeout from the unlock gesture (swipe up).

It's confusing to show inputs that will then likely disappear in less than a second.
