One could fairly argue that maybe such people shouldn't have access to a system, but it is a reality.

More that, such people shouldn't be allowed to be sysadmins, yet self-host and/or expose any ports to the internet.

Yeah, issue being if they work for your company and management insists they have a job to do and you must provide what they ask for to do their job.

Though the most recent guy to inflict that on me is at risk of pissing off a customer as he pulled that on them and they are complaining rightly that someone that can't sort out key based ssh auth has zero business touching their sysems. So some people can give reasonable push back.
