Fair enough, but some of the protections in Lockdown Mode seem straightforward enough that I'm not sure why they aren't enabled by default. A couple of examples:

1. Device connections - To connect your iPhone or iPad to an accessory or another computer, the device needs to be unlocked.

2. Configuration profiles - Configuration profiles can’t be installed, and the device can’t be enrolled in Mobile Device Management or device supervision while in Lockdown Mode.

Hasn't unlocking to use USB been the default for a decade now?

Not quite a decade but ever since Greykey became a thing Apple has locked down USB while locked.
