Double Tap to Turn on Screen Is the Spawn of the Devil!
Three new things to consider

1) I see reports of the Emergency Service reporting a spike in emergency calls following Android's implementation of the Five Button Presses to Call "feature". I had a couple of these but now turned it off as advised by the authorities, at least until Android and / or Samsung get their act together on this.

2) I have seen a suggestion to go into Kid's Mode to disable the Quick Optipns pull down. I have set this up as an option with my most common phone. messaging and audio media player apps made available (curiously Google Maps is not add-able).

3) I have now realised that if I activate Do Not Disturb then that will stop pressable notifications popping up on the lock sreen.

Those in combination with Keep Phone Unlocked activated and using the Touch Protector app bundled up in a Bixby routine which I have called Pocket Lock will hopefully once and for all nail it down though sadly going into Kid's Mode cannot be incorporated and has to be done manually.
