I feel like trap checks should be passive checks or at least called out by the DM, otherwise dungeons can turn into a slog.

If you ask for a passif that isnt improvised then you decide in advance if they can find it and by whom.

I like to ask for die rolls. Because its a die rolling game. If I want them to know something for free without the risk of them failing it I will use passives as an excuse

Yeah asking for die rolls is a good play, I just think it's boring when you take 10 minutes to open every door because every character has to independently check it for traps lol

Do like me. Max one check with help or 2 checks for anything. If it fails, try something else. If it really takes too long, next door the trap is obvious and the challenge is to disarm it.
