Device sharing

I don’t understand why family members can see all my devices and erase them even by accident. I should be able to share the location of my watch and phone and that’s it just like find my friends.

Can I hide some of my devices from my friends? I just got a new iPhone 11 Pro and noticed in the Find My app that I can see my other family members that I have shared locations with. However now I can see ALL of their devices too and I am sure they can see all of mine. Is there any way to limit this? I do not think we need to be automatically sharing the locations of ALL DEVICES and can think of some situations where that would be problematic. Can we CHOOSE what devices are available to be seen? In the past only one device was locatable and we had the ability to set which device (iPhone, iPad, etc.) that was.
