Considering this is all about Android adopting a very similar feature, it doesn’t sound like “Apple being Apple”…
It's Apple being a trailblazer and leading the industry. Sometimes that lead is in a bad direction.
They stole the idea from GrapheneOS and shipped a barely half-baked version with hardcoded time. GrapheneOS has configurable time for it since years
Can you set the time to one minute?
It's good to have an option like that, even being a default, but there definitively need a switch to disable that if it is your own will. It's not even necessarily that good enough against cops, because in a lot of shitty countries, even some pretending to be democratics, not disclosing or at least inputting your password might be a crime severely punished. If I'm not wrong, there was a guy that had to stay years in…
It's good to be able to disable this option: I use old Android phones as servers and don't want them to reboot every 3 days.

The rest of the industry are adults and can be responsible for their own decisions though.
For obvious reasons those ads are long gone...
If this is true, then the new update will save a lot of battery for those phones that are sitting idle.
I found that this saves a lot of battery. My old Motorola G5G is now sitting idle, and I had to charge it every 4-5 days. I found that if the phone is restarted and NOT unlocked , it will stay charged for more than 10 days. My best guess is that a screen unlock is required to start many of the OS-level services, which takes up all the battery. If this is true, then the new update will save a lot of battery for those…

How is this going to work with SIM cards that need a PIN? I'll be just unreachable until I notice the reboot?
Some time later, you need to do something on the phone, you unlock it, the app starts up, and a flood of messages pours in. Wow, some of those would've been really useful to receive in a timely fashion! Whoops!
