I miss the back fingerprint scanner. I could unlock my phone as I'm taking it out of my pocket . The in screen one on Samsung phones is really unreliable.
Being able to swipe down the notifications from that button was a great feature
If it's any consolation, "one handed mode" (at least on pixels) has an option to let you bring the shade down by swiping down on the gesture bar
Swiping down on the fingerprint scanner was my favorite thing on my pixel 5, for checking notifications or fidgeting with it! I was a little bummed when I eventually upgraded, but found that and it works relatively well

It can also pull the screen down with a different gesture
