Great writeup, but I wonder why so much emphasis is put on not 'connected to network' part. It seems like a timed inactivity reboot is a simpler idea than any type of inter-device communication schemes. It's not new either; Grapheneos had this for a while now and the default is 18 hours (and you can set it to 10 minutes) which would be a lot more effective as a countermeasure against data exfiltration tools.

This is because earlier reports coming out of law enforcement agencies suggested that the network was involved in making even older devices reboot. This blog post is an effort to debunk that claim.
