It can’t happen to my macbook.
This happened recently to my kid and it was a nightmare of a week trying to resolve it.
I’d rather tie my identity to an org with customer service.

this does not mean anything logical. Billions use android. Some will be affected due to any company or ID etc.
Pretty sure you can visit your local apple store and see many people asking for shattered screen or lost iphone. They did lose their accounts.
Moreover even if you use macbook - if you lose google or apple ID situation is same. (for the majority) appstore is important. See your comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48111545#48123885 you are happy to give everything to iCloud but don't like Google?
I can also store all my data in hetzner cloud. Use chromebook only as a hardware. If Google account is blocked then use Guest session. No account needed. Your turn?
