why does my phone have to be unlocked to unlock my apple watch?

Why does my phone now have to be unlocked to unlock my apple watch? This totally defeats the purpose of having a cellular plan on your watch and not having to have your phone with you when on a run or working out. This is driving me crazy but the option to turn it off is grayed out. This makes no sense to me. Can it be fixed?

Apple Watch Series 7, watchOS 10
