> using a separate PIN/passcode at application-level provides a separate (master) password which would be used for all your passwords (in case your AppleID password gets compromised).

That already happens exactly as you mentioned.

You need a secondary encryption password for encrypted iCloud data as well. Having access to your Apple account isn't enough.

THIS!

Apple finally provides a modicum variant of Zero Knowledge password.

But that is only available in next iOS version 16.2. [1]

But, but ... BUT the Apple macOS/iOS issue of Three Form of Authentication being still being reduced into Two-Form with their merge (OR-logic) of what you have (FaceID/TouchID) and what you know (PIN/passcode) ... remains.

That reduction of authentication is still the greatest weakest link to individual security (whether ADP is used after v16.2 or not).
