Control Center Timer icon doesn't open full Timer app after update

I use the timer icon in control center to open and choose what sort of timer I need at the moment multiple times a day on my phone.

I time my cooking and activities so I want an alarm, and almost every night I will pick a video to fall asleep to so I set a timer to turn off my phone.

with the new update when hit the timer icon I get a little window where I can set the time and hit start. I can’t make it an alarm or a shut off, I can’t even close it, I have to start it and then cancel it.

if I want to get to all the functions I’m used to, I have to hit timer, start a random timer, wait for it to minimize, touch the top of my screen, and then I choose my options.

why can’t the timer icon in the control center just open the main timer screen?

does anyone from Apple read these? How would I let them know how I feel?

That’s correct. It is a new feature that allows you to open the timer for a quick time without having to go through the process of multiple steps to set a timer. 

And you don’t have to go through all of that; in Control Center tap Alarm, then Timer. Or open the timer in the Home screen clock app. Or say "Hey Siri, open the Timer"

Or, what I do is skip opening the app entirely, and say “Hey Siri, set a 45 second timer”. This works on an iPhone, iPad, or Watch. I rarely actually open the timer app at all.
