Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn’t permanently installed on a phone.
There’s actually a 0-day exploit affecting safari on every single apple device right now, and not a gentle one. There is a fix, but you have to update iOS to get it.
Also a MAJOR 0-day affecting teams, but the exploit is exploiting core app functionality so Microsoft don’t want to fix it.
My ipad only has 50MB of free ram after the OS loads as it is, I’m not updating ios any further - and I’d probably be just about willing to pay to downgrade back to ipados 12 to make it usable again
