Too bad Oxide's non-BMC[0] service processor or something similar isn't available on all servers.

If you just don't plug in the BMC network port, you effectively have this. But people do plug in the BMC network port because it's extremely useful.

Reasonable environments don't allow BMC access from the normal LAN, and instead have a protected LAN segment for the BMC's NIC, so the risk typically minimal as it requires breaching a secure control network. It's bad to have insecure hardware, but defense-in-depth and proper network design makes compromise from it much more unlikely.
