If an anecdote is supposed to be the argument... yeah, no, the one from 2021 is out of date.
in 2023 I had an issue that interfered with my work. A machine with my machine-activated iLok codes had been stolen. So the thief or their customer was logging on to License Manager as though me and I would have to deal with that, even as I was not using any of those licenses (mostly freebies from eg: Soundtoys); VSL has gone iLok so I have a few licenses I do use on it, so I would have to recover from each interruption. Finally I knew I was going to have to make this go away.
speaking of 10 yrs hence... the last time there were such occurences I had to go to individual vendors to have them wipe that authorization and free it up for my current use. However in 2023 iLok did literally all of it for me and they did it usually the_same_day.
I now have three hundred-some activations between two dongles.
