Don't expect this to change. Most companies realize they can't provide any value for enterprises in that price tier, so they lock SSO behind the most expensive tier. Drives me mad but that's the industry.
But I have found a couple companies that do a sort of "middle-ground" – SSO via SAML2 locked behind some "call us" enterprise BS, but Google Auth available to all.
MailGun does this, and so does Linear. Atlassian charges extra for SSO (via Atlassian Access) but it's just $30 a month or something, so seems totally reasonable even if extra.
This feels like a decent middle ground for smaller companies since it requires zero extra config.
