Not everyone who purchases a phone is the end user. If I'm buying a device for my organization or for a child, I might not want the device to enable that choice at runtime. I want to make the choice at the time of purchase.

Don't worry. Restricting what's allowed in a company owned iPhone already exists throughout MDM. And that won't change because it's not your device after all.

I'm aware of MDMs, I administer one. That 50% addresses my comment, but also, MDMs are third party solutions.

Regardless, my point is that opinionatedness is a feature that some people buy, even if many people on this forum don't.

e.g. people might prefer to eat at a nice prix fixe restaurant instead of the Cheesecake Factory.
