It seems unfortunate that enhanced protection against physically attached devices requires enabling a mode that is much broader, and sounds like it has a noticeable impact on device functionality.

I never attach my iPhone to anything that's not a power source. I would totally enable an "enhanced protection for external accessories" mode. But I'm not going to enable a general "Lockdown mode" that Apple tells me means my "device won’t function like it typically does"

It isn’t. Settings > Privacy & Security > Wired Accessories

Set to ask for new accessories or always ask.

I have to warn you, it does get annoying when you plug in your power-only cable and it still nags you with the question. But it does work as intended!

You might want to check that charger. I have the same option set to ask every time and it never appears for chargers.
