But… The open internet? Unfortunately those days are long gone. Every other website requires a Google/Microsoft Single Sign-On. And the majority of the web is hosted with a few hyperscalers, so federation is broken as well.
Your Internet obviously does not look like my Internet. I can’t remember ever seeing a site that didn’t belong to Google or Microsoft that required their login garbage (I see commercial sites that offer it as an option for lazy people who are unable to understand that using it is not in their best interests, yes, but every single one I’ve encountered thus far has also had a local username/password system).
As for the hyperscalers, that’s starting to break up a bit because of the number of countries the US has pissed off recently. People want to move their stuff back inside their own borders. It’s a drop in the bucket so far, admittedly, but every little bit helps.
Good move.
