At least you can restore it. Imagine all your devices are lost in a massive fire, is there a way to get back your apple account?

I have a 'bootstrap' system... I have recovery codes and a backup for critical things encrypted and stored in a public git repo I push to both gitlab and github. If I lose everything, I can use those recovery codes to access the things I need to recover my digital identity.

Phone number and email access, if you can regain access to them.

It is definitely a good idea to plan in advance and set up a recovery contact: https://support.apple.com/en-us/102641
