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.

Think about that.

 That's irrelevant since you have to unlock any container *ALWAYS* to
access information on it.
 And I unlock my phone *ONLY* to access private information on it, since
this is the sole purpose for it - to store private information.
 

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.

I unlock when I need to unlock. Which is once a week, if that.

 I unlock when I need to unlock. Which is every time when I use my phone,
because on my phone there is no "public" information at all! EVERY data
on that is private! Having an encrypted container which I would access
only once a week would make no sense at all to me.
