> least-effort development" is not generally that meritorious, especially in this area, and arguably a large part of TS's value proposition is about "less effort and less risk" for the user!

Development effort is the dominant variable in engineering cost/benefit analysis. What do you think is the cost of what you're asking for? What do you think is the value?

I'd guess the effort is 50-100% relative to all of the auth schemes currently supported combined, and I'd guess the value is maybe one or two orders of magnitude less than the value delivered by those features.

If this were a common problem, don't you think they would have addressed it? I don't have this experience, for the record.

> they could really throw some developer hours at this and polish it a bit, roll their own auth

I don't think you have a realistic understanding of what you're asking for.
