I have reached the point now that if you don't offer me email and password, then I will not use your service anymore.

That you might want to offer different options for different people, sure; but don't remove the password option. Let me use my generated email address so that if you sell my info i know i can't trust you anymore and let me manage my own security instead of some third party that does not have my personal privacy as their primary concern.

This! Absolutely. I can't stand neither social login or magic link both of those are a pain. Password manager are a thing for a reason, just give me username+password or email+password + application based 2fa and thats it. Webauthn will be good at some point when everyone settled on how to use it properly (and as long as its paired with other way of logging in)
Every other week I don't use a product because it's only available with GitHub login (usually has nothing to do with GitHub)
