I was too lazy to find the source (but knew it existed) when I wrote that; it’s here at https://support.apple.com/en-us/102630 under the Web Access and Advanced Data Protection for iCloud heading.
Are you saying enabling the setting to allow web access is downgrading your security? I think the security risk is super minimal. You need physical access to one of your devices to approve access every time.
So as much as love Apple to death, unfortunately my iCloud email account that I don’t use anymore has had its information leaked several times over, but I’d rather keep it despite this.
What I don’t want is for it to be even easier to brute force, and I also don’t want to make it easy for Apple (or anyone) to access its data. So for me personally it’s important.
Do you? I thought you just had to authorize from an Apple device every time.

You need physical access to one of your devices to approve web access. If someone had that they could also just turn on the toggle.
