Your Google/Microsoft/FB/etc accounts are used to sign in or access information about other extremely important things in your life, like your bank, payroll, travel companies, health records, taxes, insurance, everything really. If you get locked out of those SSO "identity providers", you get transitively locked out of everything else. Which means you could end up without access to money, unable to pay rent, unable to travel, contact friends for help, etc.
In other words, your physical security would be threatened, as in you might literally become homeless and die of exposure.
