Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

Family sharing only works if you also enable purchase sharing which is ridiculous because the two factor verification code is always sent to the family sharing organizer making it impossible for family members to buy something on their own

If you don’t share purchasing and then family sharing the members are not allowed to see each other’s movies

Yes, to share purchases you have to, um, share purchases. My recollection is that I have occasionally needed to give my kids the CVC from my debit card to confirm that they are allowed to make purchases.
