Other people have mentioned this, but if you're not reusing passwords, this shouldn't be a concern for you. Don't reuse passwords!
On the security front, companies that are implementing 3rd-party sign-in can still get hacked and leak your personal information. If that information is supplied by Apple instead of you, it's all the same. You don't automatically get better security because you're using 3rd-party sign-in, you only get better security if you're being forced to stop doing something bad (reusing passwords, enabling 2FA) or if Apple is providing less information than an account would ask for during signup.
To Apple's credit on that front, they do mask your email, which is a legitimate privacy improvement. But it would be better for that to be a generic service that allowed you to generate an anonymous email at any time for anything, rather than a perk that's hardwired into an anti-competitive scheme to make it harder for you to migrate devices or change services.
