Also, once "travel warnings" to a particular country have been formerly issued, such as with the Coronavirus, travel insurance may not cover any expenses claimed, whether medical or otherwise.

Some policies apparently do offer a type of 'change of mind / cancellation' clause where a person can cancel a trip for whatever reason they so choose.
They were discussing it on the radio a few days ago.
Can't see how that would work as it means a person could book a big trip then cancel and get a refund?
Probably has a very large excess and premium cost.
I'm sure there are a lot of people carefully reading the PDS of their policies right about now.
