This "novel" feature is already supported by GrapheneOS and set to trigger after 18 hours by default, with the option for the user to adjust it to their preference. There is no good reason to force the choice of 72 hours on everybody. That's a user-hostile design decision.

It apparently only triggers if the phone hasn't been successfully unlocked for three days. So, it really isn't something most users will notice.
