Veronica could’ve just turned Airdrop off and moved on with her life.

Eh. Sorta. The small form factor of pocket computers belies their functionality, and makes most people treat them as if they are much simpler devices than they really are.
The fact that there isn't a manual of operations included with it doesn't help - when was the last time a manual on settings and their ramifications was included with the device?
Reasonable defaults, I guess?

Isn’t the default “contacts only”?

The lack of a manual feels like a red herring only a small fraction of user actually reads the manual. And among those that do they read it to find a specific thing (like wifi) not to understand the product as a whole.

Great insight. I used to really enjoy reading the manuals or instructions of things I would buy or receive as gifts.
Technical writing in print-form is a lost art today.
