Apple iPhone lightning dock USB Restricted Mode

Somebody just gave me a iPhone Lightning Dock. Model A1717

When I dock my iPhone (even without the dock being plugged into a charger or any device), a message comes on the screen saying to "unlock my phone to use USB accessories".

Is this right?

Isn't this device just a lightning connector pass-through?

Just need someone to confirm this is normal

Thanks!

Dock connector Why is it that I have purchased 4 of the iPhone dock connecters from walmart and every single one of them after two weeks of use they no longer work? It’s very frustrating that I need to have my phone positioned a specific way without even a hair moving it to be able to use it.

XR doesnt connect to lightning dock I have 3 lightning docks at a central place in the house to charge our phones during the night. They seem to work fine. But all three new iPhone XR's don't connect to them. I went to an Apple reseller and there also my XR doesn't connect to one of their lightning docks. So it must be a software setting in the XR that I apparently switch on (without knowing) because all 3 have the same problem. Suggestions?
