I feel like it isn't all that meaningful to compare Apple vs. Google vs. Facebook auth if the data is coming from a community that already has a favorable view of the Apple ecosystem, eg. the crowd that reads Daring Fireball. The majority of the global market at large is not using Apple devices and Apple sign-in is not going to resonate so strongly or even be a possibility. If you are developing an iOS or Mac app, sure, that's a meaningful data point and feature suggestion. It won't be equally important for everyone.

1.5 billion active devices with all of them tied to an easy payment method is very meaningful. Also, the wealthiest 1.5 billion and the most willing to spend money on tech/app purchases. This is a big deal. If you're trying to sell an app instead of trying to sell ads, Apple users is your target market, even if your app is web, native Windows, or Android.
