Lockdown Mode / Focus sharing

So looking for some context and if other users experience the same issue regarding Lockdown Mode:

So I have Lockdown Mode enabled on my IPhone and have focus disabled and toggled over everywhere focus is mentioned throughout settings!

While enabled I will receive a notification that is frustrating and not consistent with my settings and the like. The notification reads as follows:

Lockdown Mode Blocked Focus Sharing:

”Your focus won’t be shared with other people while in Lockdown Mode”

Now, I have never enabled a focus of any kind, but this notification arrives after I respond to an IMessage (regardless of the sender of the iMessage)

I have confirmed that none of them have a focus enabled during the conversation nor did prior to that would trigger the notification.

Plus, I don’t have a focus enabled and I searched and toggled off all instances where focus is mention (settings, focus, messages, privacy, etc.)

Apple’s documentation about possible notifications and instances in which they might be received is lacking any kind of real substance regarding this topic specific to my inquiry nor is genuine apple support.

So what is Lockdown Mode actually blocking if focus is not enabled (first question)

Has anyone else experienced this specifically (second question)

Please refrain from directing me to a KB article about Lockdown Mode or state “just turn off lockdown mode” as I have it enabled on purpose!
