But this way you send all your financial transactions through at least 2 additional providers (zapier and google) and your email provider. Not sure if this is worth it.

I prefer this, the finance is lost in the noise of other traffic and no creds to banks are shared unlike mint.
credentials are sent to the bank servers, and a token is stored on the mint servers, credentials are never shared _to mint_
No they store the plaintext password. Maybe more banks have oauth2 but many don't.
