The setting “Allow accessories to connect” is completely gone on my mom’s Mac mini.

I plugged in my garmin watch and a pop up saying “allow device to connect” came, and she denied it. I explained that she needed to press “allow” instead, and we tried to fix it by going to settings/privacy-and-security/allow accessory to connect, but that setting wasn’t there. We searched for it in the search bar and it showed as a result, but when clicked went nowhere. That setting has completely disappeared.
