Why cant the apple watch and my iphone both provide notifications rather than having to choose?

Whilst I understand that I dont receive a notification on my Apple Watch if my iPhone is unlocked, what I dont understand is why.

Why cant both provide notification simultaneously? what is the downside? Would be very handy.

iPhone 5s, iOS 11

Why can’t you have notifications turned on both the watch and phone? I don’t understand why this isn’t a setting option. Why is there no setting to allow notifications on both the phone and Apple Watch? Sometimes during the day I want notifications to show on my watch and other times it’s more convenient on my phone. I don’t feel like I should have to adjust my settings constantly during the day. Why does it have to be one or the other?

Notification Management on iPhone and Apple Watch I have seen this thread, and to an extent it helps explain, but I am still struggling: I have an IPhone XR and recently bought a… - Apple Community I have an iPhone 12 and recently purchased the Apple Watch Ultra. Ideally I want to get notifications on both devices and I am a bit flustered that this doesn't appear to be possible? Even then, per the above thread, if both devices are locked (my phone was def locked and my watch is set to unlock with phone or wrist raise which I hadn't done in quite some time), I am getting notifications on the watch only. My phone does not vibrate or light up showing a notification. I feel like when I first set this up (literally yesterday) it worked as I had hoped (even getting notifs on both devices?), and then a new watchOS installed and now I am struggling. Please help otherwise I don't think the watch is worth the price - too inconvenient having seemingly arbitrary notifications to whichever device.
