Yes, that's a lovely idea.
EXCEPT for the absolutely abysmal "customer service" and "issue resolution" provided by the likes of Amazon, Google, FB, etc. (as if those so-called services even rise to the level of the ordinary defnitions).
IFF they provided real humans, with real time and authority to look into and resolve issues, this might be a good idea.
But since, in the real world, their business model is obviously to provide only the most superficial figment of anything resembling an ability to resolve issues, any such linkage would be absolutely terrifying.
Any inadvertent slipup, or even getting innocently hacked already result in disastrous loss of access to your own data and privs. Just today, there's an HN story of such an unrecoverable loss on FB & Oculus [1]
The only solution in light of these hostile policies on the part of FAANGs and other big tech companies is maximum fragmentation/segmentation/sharding of accounts.
(I've already passed on invitations for an Amazon Biz acct, despite the fact that it might be quite useful for my biz, for exactly these reasons.)
