And what software will that burner or otherwise locked down phone run?

It's not going to be a flip phone, it's going to be a iOS or Android device specially provisioned by the company's IT department for use in environments like these.

You can't get anything done on a flip phone, you can barely operate in China without WeChat/AliPay.

It wouldn't be very difficult to provision an iOS device with limited connectivity to proprietary information while still maintaining necessary operational communication and productivity. The idea here isn't to just flip Lockdown Mode on and pray that all the secret stuff on your phone doesn't get hacked, the idea is to use it as one tool of many to reduce your blast radius.

It’s irrelevant what it runs, the point is it doesn’t have the individual’s personal data and most importantly access to company data.
