Hmm I have a Mac for work and it doesn't have any Apple ID associated...

>If your device is associated with the "Find my Mac" "Find my iPhone"

I said "if your device".

**IF**

Is it difficult to understand?

If it isn't associated (with "find my" turned on) there's no issue. If it is, and you lose your apple ID, you are SOL. Turning on "find my" with an associated apple ID is the same as making Apple the only entity that can truly control and own your computer. You can no longer reinstall macOS without your apple ID if there's an issue.
