I don't know how to answer this question. I think it's just a matter of definitions. Right now it is part of the definition of the sage cell server that it lets people do computations without any need for login or or authentication -- Jason Grout in his last talk about the cell server cites a top motivation for creating the Sage cell server to minimize the number of steps to "compute something". Requiring accounts increases the steps. One could of course create something that provides computation of a "single cell" that has proper authentication. I can't see any reason not to encourage that too, but it's up to Jason.
