It's only a bad solution if it's not disable-able and it happens in all cases (rather than only when the user is still in a call).

Ideally it's a warning that you can disable. With safety/privacy it's generally preferable to have warnings as the default and allow users to take the trainer wheels off rather than risk a new user exposing themself accidentally.

Yes, that would work too and quite good practice. But not sure if I like that it's push from officials anyway, especially when I see that's adjacent to other "breaches" in that document.
