1. It’s new. You had to make those changes manually before

2. You can now automate a lot of things. Example: block twitter/fb/social media after 9pm for everyone.

Your second example would be subject to TTLs right?

Sure, but I'd expect those to be short enough to not matter for this purpose. The cutoff may happen at 9:05 istead of 9 sharp, which is close enough.
