yes, you can disable it in LMS, but, it may be needed for account
authentication for some services (Tidal and Pandora, there are others).
I don't use any of these services, so I am unsure if you disable
mysb.com access, does LMS access your mysb.com anyway (for
authentification). Either way, it needs you un and pw in LMS.

The original intent of mysb.com way back when, was to provide "out of
the box" functionality to sb devices. You could load, sign up, and
stream radio, pandora, bbc, npr, etc., without having to have LMS
installed on something (like a PC or am mac). Then, LMS could provide
more functionality, such as your own local music. Development of
mysb.com was stopped 10 years ago, and LMS has made huge strides. But,
if you want to take say a radio to a friend's house, or on vacation,
it's still useful.
