The only choices being MS or Google for auth, both with trigger happy defence mechanisms, is kind of annoying though.

There are more options than that, and I see your point.

To take the contrarian stance though: SSO not being paid is kinda nice, and not having yet another password for something is nice. —- double and: then not being able to leak a password or handle 2FA, instead focusing on their actual product.

For free users, it's pretty much just G, MS, and GH (which is currently the only "tolerable" one, but there's no reason why it won't turn into a MS account in the future just like how they killed Minecraft)

If GH accounts turn into MS accounts, that's a sure sign it's time to take your repos elsewhere, because the wrong people are in charge.

Might mean a little more work to help reimplement GH features in the platform of choice. Not everyone will leave.

But it'll be great for the diversity of the internet.
