Using a service for sign-in without making users create an email/password login is a usually a mistake.

Avoid this lock-in, and own your own users. Email and password is still the best and simplest way to go.

Unless I NEED to use a new app I skip any sign up process as soon as I'm asked to share my e-mail. You rarely need to actually have contact info for the vast majority of products unless your business model is based on selling that info.
Yeah the whole reason Sign In with Apple is appealing is because sites/service are notoriously bad about abusing access to one’s inbox. The ability to cut off any site/service I please without trickery with email aliases, etc is invaluable.
