It is unclear to what cells the option applies, because normally all protection
applies only to protected cells, but not to unprotected cells. Now if checked,
would that mean that formatting protected cells would be ok? And if unchecked,
why would it prevent unprotected cells from being formatted?

"Disable editing values" is the standard case for protected cells in a
protected sheet. Making this explicit and then even allowing to disable it is
confusing.

But that is exactly what is requested here. The protected cells are of course
locked in a protected sheet, but for non-protected cells where one enters or
pastes values to, modifying CF is also to be disallowed. I don't get why that
should not be possible in the sheet protection dialog. Of course it requires
implementation of an additional protection method, but what's your point here
with the dialog?
