Those are all problems for the employer.
In this case its the US government so it ends up being a lot of people's problem, but in the context of the employer and employee, its all on the employer.
If they screw up the work phone with their requirements, its theirs. If that compromises their IT security, that is also theirs.
None of that makes a lick of difference to the employee unless they use their own device or carry their work phone around outside of working hours.
The reflecting pool was the administration's fuckup, and they aren't the ones taking the blame for it. Same here, they will scapegoat others. Our great leaders can never be wrong.
