How so? I don't see how a secure attention sequence (i.e. what Windows used to do with requiring ctrl + alt + esc to be pressed to log in) could be a bad thing.

On the other hand, you can bet that that's absolutely something scammers will be able to convince people to do while they're on the phone with them...

That, or a reboot with pressing F8 with a clear prompt "Enabling developer mode, do not do so if required by a phone support". Easy enough for actual developers and tinkerers, but disruptive for someone getting scammed.

Indeed but it will slow them down significantly and reduce the amount of marks by a significant amount as well.
