I want Apple to never make this available to 3rd parties. I wonder if, and hope, MDM can disable this support function too.

  You kinda already can: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teamviewer-quicksupport/id661649585 https://apps.apple.com/us/app/teamviewer-quicksupport/id6616... I really want this for my parents who live two states away.

  I did this just yesterday with my dad. Super convenient for ‘family tech support.’
