Having features to a thing you bought locked behind an account only serves to discourage people being used things since a good chunk of people will either don’t know how or are too lazy to remove their account from said thing.

Given that it’s a HP printer, I can almost guarantee you that it’s only linked up to an account so the previous user could use the printing subscription. There’s absolutely no security reason for doing this.
