Anyone know why exposes a list of applications on the lock screen?

It’s not even the correct list of running applications, you can’t do anything with them, and I’m not sure I understand the logic behind this design decision at all.

Screenshot of GNOME’s lock screen showing a list of applications (multiple copies of Screenshot, Console, Vivaldi, extensions. The time is 10:55, the date is Friday, February 23rd. The blurred wallpaper in the background is of a kitten on a green hill in front of a blue sky and yellow sun.

Apparently they’re notifications (thanks, @farshidhakimy) even though the notification text isn’t displayed so… 🤷

Anyway, you can turn them off from Settings → Notifications → Lock Screen Notifications.

(This should be the default.)

Screenshot of clean lock screen without a long list of application names (“notifications”). There’s only the profile icon, my full name (Aral Balkan) and a box for your password along with a blurred wallpaper (illustration of a cat sitting on a green hill in front of a blue sky and yellow sun) and a group of top bar icons on the top-right.
