Why can't we add ALL app widgets to the cover screen like Google Home? This is the ideal use case for a cover screen to see at a glance information. 

And please do not recommend good lock, I'm asking about widgets not launching apps.

Cause the app maker has to support it. Not in Samsung's control.

Some app makers in the US won't even make Android apps because of the market share, they just make iOS apps.

The widgets already exist on the inner screen though. I'm not saying re-invent the wheel and have app devs create brand new custom-sized  widgets like Spotify. I'm saying Sammy could bypass all of that by making the cover screen function like a half-sized inner screen with a smaller grid size. Let's call it 4x4 as an example. The user could then add a certain amount of 4x4 pages to the cover (let's say 5 is the limit) + any existing widgets as long as they fit in that 4x4 range (which many would). They could lock this feature behind Good Lock in addition to the existing app launch functionality if they feel it isn't "official" enough.

This is a forum where Samsung users attempt to assist other Samsung users with their Samsung products and services. While we do have some moderators here, their main function is to police community policy infractions.

Your suggestion would be better provided to Samsung by accessing the 'Send Feedback' form in this app. Go back to the main page, tap the 'Support' tab, then, under 'Quick Help', tap 'Send Feedback'.
