What's all this and why would I be interested?

I would be highly suspicious of any MDM profiles being installed on your phone.

An MDM profile can be used to change almost anything on a mobile device. If somehow a threat actor was able to change and push out new settings for one of those profiles it can do anything it wants to your phone including locking you out of it, wiping, changing your passcode, and exfiltrating sensitive data such as location.

I have used work mdm profiles, through air watch and now intune.  Once the profile is installed you can see exactly what they can do and can’t do.  Yes wipe e-mail. Require password turn on and off gps location services

The one I installed from quad 9 literally can only forward dns. It’s the only option listed

To update setting it would require me to type my phone password for it to be updated.  I would know if something changed

This is how MDM profiles work on IOS.  You are correct, they can't just "be changed without you knowing" once installed.  
/We use Intune MDM for our BYOB devices and Work-Provided devices.   Granted, different profiles depending on the type.
