Missing 'Decline' button on iPhone 15 Pro lock screen

After receiving my iPhone 15 Pro, I was surprised to learn there is no 'DECLINE' red button on the lock screen when I get an incoming call. Clicking a side button, three times in rapid succession, is a rather awkward affair in a lot of circumstances. Does anyone know if there are plans to change this?

But to your point, it's not necessary to tap the side button three times. If you tap it once, it mutes the phone from ringing. If you tap it twice, it sends the call to voicemail. You do NOT have to tap anything thrice.
