I don't want to unlock to the home screen, I want to unlock to Apple Notes or Notion or whatever your favourite flavour of notes app is.

Being allowed to replace the home screen with some app would be game changing for making the device feel helpful rather than like the little universe of chaos that is is. Let me access other things from the app switcher.

Alas, we will never be allowed to do that.

You don’t unlock to the home screen, at least on IOS 17. You unlock to the last app you had open. And while not exactly what you were advocating for, you can add Apple Notes to control center which you can unlock to.

There are also shortcuts you can automate and use your voice to open apps from the lock screen.
