Setting "Lock screen notification visibility" controls all visibility, not just on lock screen

The name "Lock screen notification visibility" implies that the setting applies on the lock screen. It also applies on an unlocked screen which is unexpected.

I want message contents to be hidden on the lock screen, but visible if I have my device unlocked.

I'm able to achieve what I want by changing the setting to "Sender and message", and then use the system notification settings to set Lock Screen to "Hide sensitive only" or "Hide all notifications". If the system settings are higher priority than the app settings, and message contents will always count as "sensitive data", then it seems like the name of this setting is confusing.

I would expect something like "Notification visibility", or "Notification visibility when unlocked".
