- grumple 6y agoThere is a fundamental difference which is that none of those auth methods require you to provide photos, government id, real names, real birthdays, etc. Facebook does. If they spun out their auth as a separate service and didn’t require handing over all your private information, things might be different. But generally the tide is turning against vertical integration, as it should. Companies using their vast wealth from one industry to then provide free products in another (just until competitors go under) is far too common, as is chaining people to products because they have a product from another category.
