I think technologically this is something an engineering team should tackle. It would probably benefit people who use touch devices for work in dirty and wet environments as well.
How long do you spend in the shower that you have time to doom scroll? Maybe it’s time to switch to baths if you have a tub. If you don’t, I would boringly suggest just not taking the phone into the shower if you know that the touch sensor will be wonky. It may speed up the shower and lessen your water consumption as a side effect. That’s good for your wallet and the environment. The internet can wait 5-10.
I get the meditative effect of a hot shower after a long day. I enjoy that on occasion as well. At no point did I ever think the experience would be improved by a cell phone with a camera being present.

One thing I think people aren’t quite getting is that showering with my phone isn’t a logical decision, it’s an emotional one lmao.

What emotions are you having that cannot deal with 5-10 minutes of pure bodily hygiene focus?

It’s not exclusive it’s additive, you can spend as long as you want in the shower

I’m not going to press you on an answer about your emotions if you don’t want to tell. You probably have it in you to change your behavior. If the bad touch response is frustrating you, there is probably a time span you can aim for in a shower that will be equally frustrating but without using the phone. Find that time.
Showers can be an incredibly wasteful way of washing. Finding ways to make them longer, especially on the reg, is something to consider avoiding.
