Security Delay is mostly deemed as unnecessary but I think its an amazing feature.

Yes, it makes you wait an hour before changign critical settings which can be annoying.

However, if you are in a situation where you are being robbed at knifepoint and the perpetrator asks you for your apple ID (Yes, this has happened to a member of my family), then it adds an extra layer of protection to make it harder for them to log off your icloud or lock you out of it.

This feature gives you bonus time to remotely lock your phone on your FindMy.

I would ultimately say this is one of the better security features apple has made.
