fwiw
1) There are animated arrows on the lock screen showing the direction you
need to drag it.
2) Pressing Escape to dismiss things has been a common pattern for years.
3) Windows 8, 8.1 and 10 have a similar lock screen shield that is
dismissed in the same way.

I don't think any of the interactions with the shield are unclear or
confusing.

Regardless, this is not the right place to discuss upstream design
decisions.
