the whole point of "DevicePolicy" is to be more specific than
PrivateDevices, sample below is the caching disk for Apache Trafficerver
anmd when you read the docs this is "PrivateDevices + /dev/sdc"

cat /etc/systemd/system/trafficserver.service.d/security-devices.conf
[Service]
DevicePolicy=closed
DeviceAllow=/dev/sdc rw

i really don't see how it would make sense use *both*

https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.resource-control.html

DevicePolicy=auto|closed|strict
closed in addition, allows access to standard pseudo devices including
/dev/null, /dev/zero, /dev/full, /dev/random, and /dev/urandom
