I don't socialize with other nerds IRL. I know what you're getting at, but I think it's at the point right now where "normal people" have paranoia of getting locked out of their google/apple accounts, because it has happened to pretty much everyone I know at least once.
They both send you through the loop of assuming you have a device, so if you lose your device you're screwed.
For example, you can even see memes like this are very popular:

- verdverm 1y agoI'm the goto person in my friends/family for things like this and not one has ever asked about being locked out of a google/apple account. I don't know anyone this has ever happened to, so when people say it's some widespread problem at top of mind, forgive me for being extremely skeptical. These stories tend to be told by people it has happened to and extended beyond the bounds they are actually a worry for most people.
