Not defending systemd/elogind crap, but you could just disable the
elogind and/or polkit daemons  on your servers. Problem solved.

On a relevant note, I just tested and found out that any logged-on
user (even remotely connected via ssh and regardless of group
membership) can issue loginctl power-related commands in a true
fuck-me-plenty-with-a-chainsaw fashion. It's not a bug, it's a
feature.
