If I only needed to unlock it when I turned it on (in the morning about
half the time) I'd be willing to do that.  NOT if I have to do it every
time the screen goes blank, which I have it set to do after 2 minutes.

If it unlocks before you can even do anything?

 
It's annoying enough to have to push the button, but I don't see any way
around that.

I don't have to push a button. Picking up the device turns on the screen
already (Google Pixel 6a).

My phone unlocks with my thumbprint by the time I can see the screen.

 
After my experience with the thumb-reader at the gym I'm not about to
trust the phone's.  I suddenly want to take a picture and have to fumble
with the switch AND the thumb-reader?  No.

I pick up the device, the screen turns on and hold the "camera" icon for
about 2 seconds and the camera starts.

Yes, this means also other people my "abuse" the camera. But they can
not access anything else and only see the pictures taken after using the
camera in this situation.

Some devices can be configured to use the volume keys to start the
camera when locked etc..
