I just encountered this with an Election app (Polarized Bookshelf) trying to do an OAuth flow. I can no longer log in to my account on the app! I'm not actually upset, though. Such is life when you rely on entirely free services provided by another company. It's almost like the role Google plays in my life is that of some natural phenomena, perhaps as seen by an ancient civilisation: omnipresent, inscrutable, unthinkingly capricious. Such is the way is the world, my son.

Google isn't a natural phenomena though- it's a group of people making decisions that have a huge ripple effect throughout our society. Google using it's monopoly powers to restrict how the internet can grow is something we should all take seriously.
