Question

Why do you need Pod Security Standards at all?

Answer

Out of the box, Kubernetes lets a Pod run as root, mount a host path, use the host network, or run privileged. Nothing stops it. Pod Security Standards give you three ready-made profiles so you can tell a namespace 'pods here must follow these rules' without writing policy from scratch.
