Why does "Do Not Disturb" have an option to allow calls from "Everyone"? What's the point?

So I notice that the "Do Not Disturb" settings have an option to allow calls from "Everyone."


What is the point of this?! Isn't that the same thing as just turning "Do Not Disturb" off?

I agree, the option to allow calls from "Everyone" actually kind of defeat the purpose of the "Do Not Disturb" feature. But please know that this feature does not only silence calls but it can also stop alerts, and notifications that you get while your device is locked. The said option is only intended when you absolutely need to let calls through.
