It does. This falls under "Communication Limits" - you can define one set of contacts allowed "during screen time", and separate set of "specific contacts" allowed "during downtime".

Login/unlock is still allowed outside Screen Time.

True, but "during downtime, only apps that you choose to allow will be available". You can configure a phone to only allow calls (and no other function), and only to a limited set of people, during downtime by adding the phone app to the "always allowed" app list and enabling communication limits as above.

This isn’t actually true. Apple default apps are generally available. For example, Files.

My child worked around the limits by downloading everything she wanted to use and open them on Files.

She’s also good at wasting time on Maps.

Downtime should mean downtime, and the documentation shouldn’t contain falsehoods.
