There's no reason for it not to be, and I guarantee their users working from home think it's a stupid policy also.

Not in general, but there is if they expect you to debug their IdP. Guest accounts for testing are a fairly typical thing to support.

If it's a bug, we're not talking about a setting they change, the software source has to fix it. If there are IdPs that somehow optionally break SAML, that's a very odd setting to implement.
