Question Does anybody know if indeed SAC can be turned on without reinstalling Windows?

Sometime SAC blocks the installer when freshly released, then allow it after days or weeks, as with media player classic.
Sometimes it blocks the installer even if old enough, as the case with peazip.

Sometimes it blocks the installer, but allows the installed app to launch; here turning off SAC is useful to bypass installation block.
Sometimes it blocks both the installer and the installed app after installation; turning off SAC will permit installation, but after turning it on again, launching app will be blocked.

I fail to realise what problems MS has with Peazip . SAC should allow it since it’s fairly old.

SAC in one word: unpredictable.

That’s why I’m happy that MS has given the users the options to toggle between ON & OFF.

And it would be nice to add exceptions to bypass any unpredictability.

We have the same list, I just cut mine off sooner lol

It must be a controlled rollout or a unintended bug, I will continue to wait.

or a unintended bug

Given Microsoft's current stellar quality control in releasing Windows 11 updates, It wouldn't surprise me if this is the case
