Sure, you need security. I would, though, expect to be summarily fired if I proposed something like a "disciplinary council" for when I had a disagreement with my customers.

If you need rules to force the business to engage with you, you've failed.

If a large part of your job is security, and your "customers" had opted to start stealing product off the floor because it was "easier than waiting in a line", you would be fired for not bringing it up.

Thats the situation the CIO had to respond to. Just because its not part if your role to consider security implications of these SaaS services doesnt mean he's out of line for doing so.

To true up the analogy, they are waiting in a line that's 3 years long.
