That's justifiable on the home screen, but the protection for the button on the notifications screen that I can only activate:

1. unlocking my phone

2. swiping down from the top

3. clicking on a small button in the bottom corner

not so much

The reason it’s the same there is that that screen looks exactly the same as the Home Screen. So, if you know how the Home Screen works, you know how this one works. Making it different would be non-discoverable.

But, personally, I’d rather a UI that’s convenient to use rather than discoverable. Discovering a feature happens once, using happens forever.
