Yes - and especially when considering that an encrypted container also
requires some kind of password or key to be useful. If the encryption
would happen automatically without and interaction, the data would be
completely unprotected if some other person gets access to the phone.

 You don't get it, and that's OK because efficiency isn't your thing.
 HINT: How many times do you unlock your phone just to use it, versus how
many times you unlock your encrypted containers?

I unlock my phone instantly every time I pick it up.

 Think about that.
 It's a hundred to one. Maybe five hundred to a thousand to one.
 The fact efficiency isn't in your thought process is why you think
unlocking your phone a thousand times a day is something you enjoy.
 Me?
 I unlock when I need to unlock. Which is once a week, if that.

So your encrypted data can't be very important to your life.

 If you don't understand the concept by now, you never will.
So we may as well give up.
 You'll never convince me that unlocking a phone a thousand times is more
efficient than unlocking it once - when you need your data unlocked.
 And I'm never going to convince you that NOT unlocking your phone a
thousand times is more efficient than unlocking it once - when you need to.
 If you don't get it by now, you never will. And that's OK.
Some people enjoy being inefficient. It makes them feel better.
