It can cause downstream logic to fail. Besides "carbon.super" & tenant ID
of -1234 are internal details which we don't expose. We may decide to
change super tenant name to "super.duper.dude" in the future because we
came up with that as an internal implementation detail. But if some clients
start relying on "carbon.super" & -1234, then externals parties will get
affected. So, we should not allow or encourage others to use these when
they call into Carbon. So, we put a stop to it then and there by throwing
an authentication exception.
