If I understand you right, than the only "option" to provide more
flexibility to the users is still an option in Android itself.
The DeviceManager can then disallow such temporary lowering of the
lock level.
Sorry I am not understanding that paragraph.
From my point of view an always on security feature will often be
disabled (at least by private users). This lowers the security even if
the origin intention was the other way around.
Not sure I see the connection here... the API to disable the lock screen is not supported when a device admin is requiring a lock screen, in which case there is no way for the user to go around this except to disable that device admin, and thus lose all access to whatever corp server the admin is associated with. And if their preference is to be able to not have a lock screen at the expense of not having their corp server access... well, that is fine for all.
