Having worked as an Auth engineer for 5 years I can reaffirm not just does auth suck everyone doing auth in any capacity sucks. The analogy that I like to use that illustrates the problem is that Auth is like working with the DMV. No one wants to do it, everyone wants to get it over with as quickly as possible, it has a vast complicated structure that people don't want to know about or need to know about, it is usually painful, it doesn't actually give you any benefit but you have to do it anyway no matter who you are. Thus everyone is trying to hammer out the minimum they can to pass the minimum requirements and then try to forget it exists at all.
