What happened to the good old mortice lock where you didn't have to do a dance with the doorhandle to get the key to turn?

I've found that's the case only with very cheap locksets. Have it replaced
with a better lock.

I've found it with everybody's lock. To lock the door (or is it unlock, I can never remember which [1]), the handle has to be lifted first, as the key doesn't have enough torque to move all 7 latches.

[1] That's the problem, if you forget which, you break the key or mechanism.
So familiar to me. Although, I just found an online door lock shop where they sell really durable privacy door locks that have a protective mechanism so you know you'd never break one by a mistake. I'll just leave a link to the example of what I'm talking about https://vizilok.com/collections/privacy-door-locks.
