Puzzle without checkmate

There are a lot of non-mate puzzles on lichess.

The problem is that for some weird reason, people tend to downvote non-mate puzzles and massively upvote mating puzzles, so the mating puzzles get overly represented in training.
I've played 400+ puzzles and this is the first non-mate one that I get :D
"There are a lot of non-mate puzzles on lichess" lol... good one.
There are a lot of non-mate puzzles; type in a random puzzle number and chances are it's a non-mating.
A lot of the puzzles I get are "check, quiet move or check, mate" in some order. I have seen material gain puzzles but they never have ratings over 100.
Another thing Clarkey if you can answer.

Why do we have to click "Retry this puzzle" when we fail a move, instead of just getting the "Bad move" red notification saying that we can try again. Not a big deal but it's kind of annoying...
