It's easy to drop the 72 hours in a future update, or tie a shorter delay to (as I believe Apple calls it) Lockdown Mode - the more important thing might be to keep the "It just works" assumption most people (myself not included) seem to have vis-a-vis Apple products.
Notably, I assume it will never be user-configurable directly. Possibly through Lockdown Mode ("If enabled then shorter delay"), but I wouldn't count on Apple adding an explicit setting.
Any savvy user can download it for free. I used it recently to create a profile for a friend I’m working with to configure their email account.
If you’re the tech person for your friends and family, Apple Configurator is quite handy: https://support.apple.com/guide/apple-configurator-mac/intro...
