Isn’t this solved already by using ScreenTime with a different Code and disable changing accounts?

I'm not familiar with using ScreenTime's security features. Does it allow you to set a _different_ passcode from your device passcode? Is that to what you are referring?

I think this Stolen Device Protection is another good step forward, as it considers location proximity into the equation. Our Smartphones are getting smarter.

Yes, you can set a separate a different four digit passcode. And  you can choose to need your full AppleID and password to reset it in case you forgot it. So this sounds like an additional layer of safety - unless I am missing sonething here.

It’s a fine line, however, the way entitled folks are jumping on the current „all power to the customer“ - no matter whether it’s about „I want my own store“ or „I want to  repair everything and anything but the evil manufacturer still owns me in case something goes south“ in the end rarely creates benefits for the consumers. Similar to the mess, streaming turned out to be after breaking the chains of cable cutting. 

I’m sure there’s a lesson in there somewhere…
