How does Android protect against this?

Also can you have different profiles for this? Would that require two SIM slots? I don't play around with profiles so I have no idea.

MDM admin here. I’m much more familiar with iOS, but newer versions of Android will completely sandbox work profiles from the personal side. Work stuff will be encrypted and the admins cannot access anything outside of that.

Yep. Work profile and apps are completely disparate, and it's actually kind of tough to transfer any data across the boundary even if you wanted to. Any time I need to send a picture to my work Slack I have to remind myself to use the work profile camera app.

It's the same tech that powers the Secure Folder thing in Android devices. My older S8 was on Android 8 or 9 and still had this functionality, so I'm not sure how old you'd have to go to have a less secure setup.

I think this mastodon post is inaccurate.
