Research direction

Reproduce the configuration with SAML SSO as the only user backend, then open /index.php/settings/user/security with an account that has an initialized Nextcloud password. Trace how the security page handles password modification in this configuration; done means the account cannot change its password when multiple user back-ends are disabled.
