Do you have fingerprint unlock on? It would make sense because if you do the passcode lock has to be on all the time as a fallback option if you can't unlock using your fingerprint.
Use your finger to unlock.
Yes I have the fingerprint on. But why wouldn't they let me decide how often to use my finger or passcode

I do but I find it annoying for my phone to be locked if I put it down for 3 seconds and get another text or something

Why do you find it annoying? It takes 0.2 seconds to unlock using Touch ID...
Because when you get a notification and want to go to that notification, you have to swipe it then scan your fingerprint. It's annoying to my workflow or how I have been using my iPhone since day one.
Then turn TouchID off!
No I just want to require my passcode after like 5 minutes.

Oh, good grief people it's a legitimate complaint.
I sympathise with the OP because while it's not the end of the world, at the same time it seems arbitrary and unnecessary to have implemented it this way.
And there's a limit to how far you can take that complaint in a place where Apple isn't looking for the feedback. All we can say us "nope, can't do it. Yup, it sucks for you. /thread."
What else is expected? It's not like Tim Cook himself will respond with the secret codes to enable the delayed passcode lock intervals again. Instead, the OP was given some options and he didn't like any of them.
I like that it locks immediately. It's so easy to unlock that it makes sense for it to lock right away.
