So I just learned that apparently Home Assistant has absolutely no user account control. My roommate has no need to access the lights, electrical outlets, etc. in my room, and has absolutely no reason to be able to see my phone's battery charge level and charger status.

Sounds like a use case for touchscreen wall controllers like Shelly ones. Controlling things in your house by unlocking your phone, opening the app, finding the right dashboard, pressing buttons is a poor user experience compared with operating a switch on the wall.

True, but adding a light switch still doesn't prevent their roommate from opening their app and turning on their lights.
