Shitty headline. Their concern is that there’s no way for a 3rd party app to disable the mic on iPhones. They’re not worried about iOS being insecure, just that if someone wanted to use one to record sensitive conversations, there’s no way they can stop that happening.
Funnily enough, it’s because of Apple’s approach to security. There’s no API available for 3rd party software to use because if there was, some asshole would find a way to abuse it.
IIRC they added the album to everyone’s iTunes accounts without asking, I guess if a user had automatic downloads enabled they would’ve downloaded it without giving permission. It was a dick move.

I’m surprised microphone and camera privileges aren’t part of any device management software.

The headline is technically correct. They are worried over iPhones being used in a manner that affects the security of the military base.
It’s clickbait. People will be clicking to see if there’s been a new vulnerability discovered. The writer knew exactly what they were doing.
That’s also possible, considering the quotes around the word security.

They can’t “push whatever they want” though.
This sounds a lot like security concerns to me.
I didn’t think you understand how the military views security. It is not the same way you or I do.
The issue isn’t with the military, it’s with the clickbaity journalism.
