Your theoretical point stands.
But keep in mind that security is only useful so long as it doesn't
obstruct usability. The reason why encryption isn't widely the norm is
because it just isn't trivial and you usually have to make a choice
between security and functionality.
An important call may tell you about an emergency situation - taking
longer to pick it up may mean that you miss it. You might not have the
details to call back the same person or no direction number making it
very time consuming.
It could be you being unconscious on the floor while a helpful person
could pick up to inform somebody who knows you.
Something to think about, if you haven't experienced any of these at
least you might consider how vital the effects can be to others.

I partly agree. The only things I don't understand are 1) why the
slider
has to be so narrow and 2) why it is not located in the middle of
the
screen. That would make it a lot easier to reach and to operate,
expecially considering how today's phones get bigger and bigger but
people's hands don't. I, for one, have comparatively small hands.
On my
android phone, the slider-equivalent used to be in the middle thus
making it a lot easier to reach for me. It also had a back button
on the
upper left (software) and lower right (hardware) meaning I could
use the
phone with either hand. But that's another story.
Sorry, but I keep thinking that if anyone who found a device which is
locked by a passcode, but SIM signed in, can accept any incoming call,
that this is a security issue. More, can the attacker after accepting
the call
even make an outgoing call to "invite" a 3rd person into the
conference
or has access to contact data while in the call? I have not tested
this.
And keep in mind, the caller could be the attacker itself to get
access to this
features on a normaly locked device.
