It’s better not to use such restrictive service which push you to the corner. Let the customer decide whether they want oauth or password authentication, but we are google why should we care for customer, you use us so you need to comply with our demands. My feeling is all this are ways to increase the revenue of google and they are just doing the same Microsoft and oracle was known for. This is called circle of life, it’s just instead of licenses they are locking users with API’s and proprietary development. Now in hindsight old Microsoft, oracle looked better compared to today’s google. In old days anyone can develop for win32 api and did not need Microsoft’s audit and charge for approval. Obviously today’s Microsoft is doing same as google so none is better. This whole thing is nothing to do with security but mostly a way to lock in users into gsuite, once you design your apps without login and password with oauth specific workflow and approval by google, it will be hard for anyone to justify a change.
