There needs to be a more fine tuned lockdown mode, for example to disable automations and risks in imessage and safari but leave device accessories working. Losing bluetooth accessories to protect yourself from zero click imessage exploits is just bad. imessage is the major wide open attack surface.

iMessage is also a huge part of Apple's moat - it's unlikely Apple will ever allow green-bubble alternative text apps that may be more secure.

    I'm looking forward to see how Apple will choose to maliciously comply - maybe they'll stick to dire warnings discouraging users.

Settings already allows you to "tune your lockdown mode" to suit your preferences. For example Settings > Messages > iMessage is literally a switch to turn off iMessage if you feel that it's problematic. Settings > Safari > Privacy and security has various settings which allow you to have a 'more fine tuned lockdown' for safari.
