Dammit polak, I wouldn't have thought twice about filling my sink halfway but here we are.

Hope things work out for you because that is absolutely ridiculous.

To be fair, my engineering brain tells me that epoxy is ridiculously strong and I'd be more scared of breaking my granite than the epoxy failing. But this is just crazy.
But you are making the assumption that the epoxy or silicone was applied correctly. From what I know, the strap is added reinforcement but another real purpose is to allow the sink to set properly and the epoxy/silicone to cure without being disturbed. If it's missing, it may have shifted?

I checked mine yesterday and thankfully it's strapped.
