From what I can see in Apple docs, aside from web limitations it sounds great. Is there any real reason to not enable this? Like I would be deeply suspicious of a PDF sent via messages and no auto-connect to insecure WiFi is also common sense.

I will say from a couple days: the only issues so far are that the image carousel in the Amazon app no longer works, but clicking on the (blank) photo does. I haven’t found issues like that with any other sites or apps. You don’t seem to be able to view PDFs in Safari, but can download them and view with Preview. Not bad, it’s what I do on OS X anyway as you otherwise have to rely on browser caching to avoid re-downloading - except it’s surprisingly hard to find the download list if you didn’t recently download a file in the current tab? And it insists on showing “lockdown enabled” everywhere, which is probably a good reminder for those who need it, but I wish I could hide it. Maybe you can pick these options à la carte?

been using it for years, haven't found a compelling reason not to yet

The iPhone is so expensive, definitely want shared photo albums to be part of the ecosystem experience.

I’ll admit I thought you lost out on more by enabling.

If only they would let people turn things on and off when they want to
