That level needs to be appropriate for installing a new version of MacOS from scratch, which is recommended late in the process.
--------
If you test after that install, you end up in Startup Manager, and are invited to create a new account. At that point, you enter nothing and change nothing further, but simply shut down your Mac in that state.
Helpful, but doesn’t specifically address the security level Apple recommends before preparing the computer for trade-in or sale.
