Some is, some is optional, some isn't.

I'm sure there's a hypothetical scenario where someone successfully runs a scam that way, but there's also a hypothetical scenario where a 24 hour wait doesn't succeed at interrupting the scam.

The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Which applies just the same to the hypothetical option during initial device setup.
I don't think it does because of the workaround I mentioned upthread.
The victim also can't be on the phone with the scammer using that device during the setup process. We're talking about a very high-friction scenario.
