True, but a small point of contention compared to the introduction of on-device scanning for illegal activities.
The policies of which could be changed at a moment's notice. Other details are relatively unimportant.

This is in essence the problem with the new on-device initiative from Apple (calling it a tool is rather misleading).
If allowed to go forward, it is only a matter of time before the capability is expanded.
So it's a big no to the scanning capability, you would think that Apple had gotten the message by now.
And the other initiative is also open for abuse, by allowing the device administrator to spy on the user. Admittedly not as bad as the on-device scanning.
