I would never have figured out the toggle for writing tools is in `Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions -> Siri -> Writing Assistance`

  It's searchable

    Normally I'd say that's at least somewhat valid but Apple also has a nasty habit of coming up with new names for things everyone else had a name for for 30 years already. Then they do bizarre things like when I tried to help my mom with her airpod settings the other day - searching "airpod" gave no hits. I mean...what?

    Searching for "airpod" in settings brings up - Accessibility, "Headphones/AirPods/Beats", Conversation Boost, Noise Cancellation, Press and hold duration, Press speed, Transparency mode
    Not sure what went wrong for you, these results seem pretty much on point.

    That doesn’t surprise me. Search in Settings is sketchy.
    The other day “login” didn’t produce Login Items. But I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried it right now and it worked fine.
