The goal seems to be breaking the real-time guidance scammers rely on. 24h probably works, but it feels like a heavy tradeoff for legit users.

Scammers will just start the process and call back the next day. There is an entire genre of scam relying on slowly building rapport and only cashing in once all the way at the end.

Exactly, it will have 0 effect on scammers. It is primarily made to piss off people and make it more difficult to install independent free software.

Capitulating now means next time the terms of the deal will be worse.

iOS was supposed to prevent phone theft by making phones brickable through iCloud.

Now, phone thieves just ask you at knifepoint or gunpoint to log out of iCloud

Unfortunately that's your own misunderstanding. iOS (as well as modern android) quite effectively prevent phone theft while the electronics are in transit along the last mile of the supply chain. Anything beyond that is a happy accident.

(I'm being a bit overly cynical there but IMO only the tiniest bit.)
