Secure folder notifications

What is the purpose of a secure folder notification? It advertises to unwanted users that there is something hidden and defeats the security purpose of it. It's like having a wall safe in my house and then not covering it with a picture or shelf to hide its existence. Does anyone from Samsung know why it is an unremovable feature?

There isn't any purpose for using a secure folder. You can disable it if you don't want to use it, I have.

If you don't want to check your apps every minute, the content is hidden as it is so I don't see the issue with security.
You can turn off app notifications as normal on the secure folder copy of the app.

If you don't want unwanted people to see it, hide it from the lock screen.

I get it. The comments about this on reddit are hilarious. I think I never saw in my live a design so bad. It's distressing thinking about how a group of people look at this and think it is ok to publish this "functionality"

In my case (S24+, OneUI 6.1, Andoid 14, Know 3.10) the notifications show the name of the app when the secure folder is locked!
And when the secure folder is unlocked, the notifications don't show the name of the app.
So it's completely reverse to what one would expect.

Anyone has noticed this?
