This has been discussed plenty and i initially was very much for this but: The main issue is placing the security deposit. If Alice sends 2 XMR of deposit to the 2:2 multisig and Bob just ghosts her, that 2 XMR is gone forever.

Does a time lock expiration release the funds back to Alice?

The best solution for this is coinjoin IMO, where Alice and Bob sign the same transaction to move both of their funds to multisig. This is possible but not implemented in monero-project.

This isn't supported in Monero afaik.
Potentially possible with FCMP transaction chaining (in the future).

Yeah, we had that discussion 3/4 years ago when the project was still all talk. I remember one of you mentioning that a Feature Request will be made. Apparently nothing came of it.

Ok, I did not know this, but seems obvious now
related discussion on that topic : https://github.com/haveno-dex/haveno/issues/999 but keep in mind that implementing this may require alot of effort, need to make sure the feature is minimal enough so that it's simple to implement easily
Give us 2-of-2 multisig as an option for trades.
Besides the actual XMR being traded, Alice and Bob each additionally lock up an amount of XMR equal to or greater than the value of the trade in a 2-of-2 multisig. Whichever side the scammer is on will always end up losing more than if they would have cooperated.
Not 100% guaranteed (nothing is), I know, but both sides are strongly incentivized to cooperate if they're economically rational. Vast majority of users, and even would-be scammers, are.
Pros: Doesn't potentially rely on a third party (an arbitrator), that might be in collusion, or require trusting their correct judgement in arbitrating Cons: Have to lock up a larger proportion of XMR for trades
Unless there are good reasons this hasn't been implemented yet as an option that I just haven't thought of
