htcfreek Todd Miller RaymondT2004 FloHB abadiya Thanks everyone for your patience!
We just had a recent update and starting with version 90.0.796.0+ the page/section in Settings will be completely hidden when either SignIn or Sync are set to disabled via Group Policy. The section won't show up in the navigation page in settings and the URL to get to this page will also not work (the user will just be redirected to the root of the Settings experience). Hopefully this will help address some of the concerns!

I am not completely sure. but i think in DEV GPO V83 there is a new configuration adressing this issue:
ConfigureShare
Configure the Share experience
Supported versions:
- On Windows since 82 or later
Description
If you set this policy to 'ShareAllowed' (0, the default), users will be able to access the Windows 10 Share experience from the Settings and More Menu in Microsoft Edge to share with other apps on the system.
If you set this policy to 'ShareDisallowed' (1), users won't be able to access the Windows 10 Share experience. If the Share button is on the toolbar, it will also be hidden.
* 0 = Allow using the Share experience
* 1 = Don't allow using the Share experience

I don't think that the policy you have mentioned disable the "Phone and other devices" site in settings. The policy you have mentioned is for disabling the share feature how it is discribed in the gpo.
The share feature mentioned in the gpo has nothing to do with sync and mobile apps/devices. So this policy does not do what I want.
