Yeah, but installing a screen protector is a "permanent" action. If you ever decide "I want to watch a video on my phone with my partner", you're pretty much out of luck unless you want to destroy your screen protector for a single 2-minute YouTube video. Making this a toggle is actually a really good idea IMO, as this gives users more agency over when their screen is private.
Screen protectors I saw and used were portrait-only, meaning landscape orientation had viewing angles unchanged. If by video you mean shorts/tiktoks/reels, they are short form and it won't hurt to give it to them for 20 seconds, or, you know, put it a bit further from your face so both your faces are in the right angle.
I don't see downsides in most phones coming with the kit in a box or pre-installed by default. There are apparently ways to make them cheap and shitty, like any phone accessory, but that's a question of quality, not the question of functionality. And I don't see why wider angles in portrait orientation are of any use.
