I'm using the 16's btw, so it's not like the older ones with the physical toggle

Ironically, the reason she can’t is because it’s a physical switch.

If she turned it off for you , then the physical indicator on the switch would be wrong, but she has no ability to move the switch.

    The new iPhones have a button, not a switch so this is not an issue.

    Because everyone always goes out and gets the new phone?

    Yes. It’s an issue.

    ETA: some quick searches and it seems the most common phone in the 13, with around 60% being the fourteen or older.

    OP has one without the switch, so it shouldn't be the issue. Only happens because a trillion dollar company cannot account for the differences in their handful of devices.

    Because apple only maintains phones on an individual level?

    And probably literally everyone who writes apps for iOS, as they would now need to account for everyone’s potential behavior.

    It’s not “only”. Especially if you had to account for every possible variation in hardware. It’s more complexity and that means more opportunity for bugs.
