This is new, I suspect with the 12.4 point update. It is disabled by default.
therefore I would not change it,, so far there is no documentation from Apple on this addition.
I would not worry about it if security is your concern. It may well be a precursor to upcoming macOS.
if you are still in doubt:
Call Customer Support (800) MY–APPLE (800–692–7753)
or on line Apple Support
I have made no changes to my macOS 12.4 defaults here and see no impact.
