Isn't it possible to jam and deny with any remote auth dependency?

Recently after we spent hours getting a Chromebook set up after a "Power Wash" due to remote auth failure, it wanted the old password and there was no option but to wipe the device.

They held our homedir hostage with required remote auth.

We were not able to log into our computer and lost all of our data because of remote auth.

Secure critical systems must not have a centralized remote auth dependency that can be denied.
