No that’s not a reasonable assumption. Malicious Okta employee is just as significant an attack vector as compromised Okta support tool.

'Malicious Okta employee' who already has privileged access in the systems the customer has chosen to outsource their auth to?

If Okta employee is a high priority threat model... then the customer is better off not using Okta.

Not that it shouldn't be considered, but if Okta top-to-bottom penetration is expected and accepted, then that's taking Zero Trust to a whole new length.
