Hot take: We shouldn't lock down devices by default to a point where they protect even the most vulnerable.

Child safety locks exist for a reason and can also be used for the elderly.

    Prescription pill bottles are a perfect balance.

    You can put the cap on one way to lock them in place to keep kids out, requiring the lid to be pressed down and twisted to open, or you can flip the lid over over to make the pills easily accessible by simply unscrewing it. I'd be 100% okay with a step on phone setup (that can also be run at any other time) that allows the phone to be set up similarly.
