(Typo. I meant: "a version where auto/-unlock/ has been fixed".)

I don't see how this would prevent autoconnect if secured with a PIN? That case would specifically be served by the other entry point:

When modem is unlocked {
    If (autoconnect == true) {
        Enable_and_autoconnect()
    }
}

Note that I am assuming a version of NM where autoconnect has been fixed per:

I see. Should I clear this change of behavior with someone if I would
like to implement it?

Also, where would the entry point be? Since the modem may or may not
need an unlock, perhaps there needs to be two:

When modem is discovered {
      If (autoconnect == true) {
          If (Unlock required == false)
              Enable_and_autoconnect()
      }
}
This would prevent automatic connect if the user secured the SIM card
against theft (or at least prevent a thief from making use of the card)
by setting a PIN. It's bad enough that NM/MM currently doesn't work
properly with my Huawei E1750 if a PIN is set (but then it's partially
my fault because I haven't spent the time yet to analyse and report the
exact failure modes). Please don't _design_ it that way.
