You took a positive action instead of something happening automatically. COnsider that while muted, you really do not want VO in most cases babbling away. If you press the home or lock buttons then you are taking a positive action that indicates you want to hear what is happening or what is in the lock screen such as an alert etc. I used to turn the volume down or go into settings and prevent VO from reading anything in the lock screen because really, in a meeting it just is not appropriate having all your devices yapping away. So, now you only need turn the nute switch to on and all is well, but you loose no functionality.
