  I've never liked the accessibility way as I don't want the AssistiveTouch menu triggers either, nor do I want to toggle accessibility on and off to work around that nested problem. I just want my phone to do nothing (except the dual side long press power off fallback since there is no way around that need) when locked, not do a bunch of things to override what it's doing when unlocked. I feel like they half assed the button implementation though. I like it in that I can at least now turn it off but that really had nothing to do with the physical approach. The great part about it being a switch means it could actually have that option to operate as that "does nothing when locked but is still a useful action button" concept but that's not actually implemented, it still either does something all the time or doesn't do anything. That's probably asking for too much customizability for the way Apple's design mindset works though. I guess could see it still being just a switch too, where you can configure it to do something on toggle rather than read the raw state all the time, but again - probably asking too much of the way Apple likes to design things for "one size fits all" configuration options.
