Idea: an auth service that just interfaces with other auth services.

It will be free and will charge a fee for the following:

1. auto upgrading from discarded services

2. retrieving passwords that are forgotten

3. Changing around your login id (automatically) for various services so you won't have to remember what you used

But who watches the watchers? It would be supremely ironic if such a service shut down.
You're right. It seems as though the service (perhaps every critical service) has to open source their code, let you self host, and then offer their own hosted version for a price.
Yeah, that makes sense to me. I'm not sure how profitable that can be, but it'd certainly be ethical and useful to people. I do think it'd be sustainable at least.
