And how do they login on the Android phone with the Apple ID with no changes to the Android app? That's the question OP didn't understand and which your reply completely ignores. While this is an iOS change, it will have effects beyond just iOS. I think most of us are fully aware an Apple ID survives even if you have no Apple devices without recourse to Apple help links.

Facebook doesn't control Android yet people are able to login using "Sign in with Facebook" button on Android phones.

  Of course. But the "Sign in with Facebook" button didn't appear by magic on the Android app, did it? Someone had to add support to their app for it. This change may incur similar cost, as Apple are forcing Sign in with Apple on _any_ app submitted to the appstore with third party login support, which is a crazy number of apps. You have a "Sign in with Facebook" button on your iOS app today? Guess what, you have to add a "Sign in with Apple" button or you don't get to play on Apple's store. Many of these apps also ship on Android, and users will rightly expect the account they created on one device to work on another.

    It would be foolish for a developer to add Sign in with Apple to their iOS app and not their Android app. If a developer did something so stupid its their fault, not Apples, for users not being able to sign in from Android devices.

It would be nice if you could add an identity provider to your OS and the app could ask the OS to identify you using your provider of choice for that application.

I imagine it would be the same as logging in with any other OAuth provider. I highly doubt Apple would lock people out of the ability to sign in with their Apple ID on the web, and if you can sign in on the web, you can sign in on Android. What remains to be seen is if they'll provide an Android SDK as well. Edit: from the developer docs "Sign In with Apple works natively on iOS, macOS, tvOS, and watchOS. And it works in any browser, which means you can deploy it on your website and in versions of your apps running on other platforms."
