Sure, you have a very valid point.

Also, I can see a method of setting up remote access to the system without an account.

Simply have the hue bridge report a UUID and set a token in the app when you press the button to authorize the phone.

The Hue servers accepts and forwards the request to a specified UUID as long as it is signed with an approved token.

There is a local admin password to remove individual tokens, and a nice reset button on the bridge that will clear any config and let you start again.

Sure you can use VPNs, however I may be an IT guy but I don't have the energy to deal with this stuff on my free time, I'd rather be out walking with my camera
