(Get the code!)
I think the current default is ok but there should be an option to allow not locking immediately.
On iOS like current Ubuntu it's hard to follow navigation instructions, quickly lock the _touchscreen_ from further touches with power button to do something else on the street, then press power button to glance again what was the direction or shop of interest. It, like Ubuntu currently, asks for constant typing of the passcode which gets tiresome when you're doing this kind of repetitive glancing of the phone while wanting to handle the phone care free when not looking at it.
Having it optional and enabling the bug #1446635 features would have best of all worlds: the option to not lock with code immediately, and the "quick and easy way to lock your screen" of comment #6 both for default users and those who have enabled the optional non-immediate locking.
Thirdly, the opening part of 1446635 makes my navigation example super fast by bypassing the lock screen to go straight to the example's navigation app, which would be even more efficient than it currently is on Jolla where one still needs to select the app from multitasking view - on Ubuntu, one does get to the latest app directly after typing the passcode / swiping.
Even if #1444635 would be seen as too advanced feature, the fact that one gets straight to the latest app on Ubuntu from lock screen would make Ubuntu on par with Jolla in efficiency if the immediate locking would be made optional, but then one would miss the possibility to quickly lock the phone when using the option. I just argue that the double pressing of power button features for flash-opening + phonelocking does not add cruft since people who don't use it wouldn't notice it.
