I'm not so sure about one thing you said Sieghard. If a sighted person
is handed a phone with a blank or black screen, and they go to the web
to figure it out, I'm not sure it would be that easy to figure out. I
just Googled for things like "Why is my iPhone screen blank?" and I
couldn't find any reference to the screen curtain and VoiceOver. I
didn't look really hard, but hard enough to convince myself that it
wouldn't be that obvious for someone who doesn't already have a bit of a
clue.

Exactly correct, unless a sighted person has exposure to Voiceover
because they know somebody who is blind they will not know how to turn
off the screen curtain. Having said that, it would not be too hard for
somebody to look up this information if they really wanted it, e.g. if
somebody stole an iPhone and it was one which wasn’t protected with a
passcode they could most certainly figure it out. In most other
situations this is a non-issue because why would somebody want to turn
off your screen curtain in the first place and if you gave your iPhone
to a sighted person you know so they can make a call or help you with
something you can turn it off yourself, most likely you would turn off
Voiceover so they can use the phone and then the screen curtain
disappears anyways.

Christopher,
Screen curtain is a VoiceOver feature. Most sighted people don't
use VoiceOver. Therefore, most sighted people aren't going to know
about the screen curtain or what gesture or Siri command they need
to use to turn it on or off.
Amen. And this is called logical thinking, I guess :)
