Why TF is the alarm volume tethered to the ringer volume?!

help me be less of an idiot…

I just came from a decade of android usage, the alarm on pixel was great, starts soft and ramps up. And it ISNT FUCKKNG TIED TO WHAT THE RINGER VOLUME IS!

for the life of me I can’t find a setting to fix this. Is the iPhone a stupid POS or is it me?
