Is using their API really any easier than using Rails gems? Some gems are more mature than others but usually it’s easy to drop them in and configure.

They claim SSO takes months to implement without their product. Is that true?

It would probably take months to implement SSO with all of the flexibility and ease of use they offer, mainly just because of the built-in integrations with so many providers. The price is pretty steep though, so this would really only be used by the big bucks Enterprise Software™ guys.
It's not. Implementing the OIDC flow from scratch takes half a day to get working and maybe a week to polish. Using available libraries you can do it way faster of course.
Most enterprise customers require SAML authentication, which is much more complicated with lots of quirks.
