Advanced Data Protection will likely go through another phase of adoption. I cannot use it because I have older devices that I need that cannot be updated 16.2. You cannot have devices that are older associated with your account to use ADP on devices that can be upgraded to 16.2.
I got my recovery key set up but it won't let me turn on the advanced protection because I have other devices on my iCloud account that aren't updated to the latest OS. The problem for me is that I have older hardware that can't be updated and I don't want to not be able to use my iCloud account on those devices. So it's a useless new feature as far as I'm concerned.

Why would you want Advanced Protection in the first place? It's certainly not a recommendation for the average user. Unless you're a high-profile individual it probably is a useless feature whether all your hardware is compatible or not.
IMO, it won't be long before some AI member starts a discussion about regrets from doing so because something unusual happened with their account and they can no longer ask Apple's help in recovering it.
