Not parent, but for me it is because signing in with my google account is a relatively bigger commitment. They have my email, they can send me marketing content, among others.

On the other hand, I still have no idea what their product does uniquely outside of any todo list. Thus, there is no value for me there outside of the proposal of "Deep Work" which I remember fondly due to the book.

In simple terms, signing in with my account extracts an imagined cost (A company(?) has access to me), and the value presented is not enough for me to justify that cost.

Adding other screenshots, and descriptions of what the application does would allow me to understand what I am getting into, before deciding if it's worth it for me to pay that cost, and thus make an informed decision as to whether I want to sign in or not.
