I am not sure. It might be true for developers, but most people don't care that much. They just want to sign in, fast.

  That depends on the service. There are plenty of such where you just want to sign in, fast, and don't care that you appear as your Facebook personality on that service. But there are services where I think people care, where having their activites on that service tied to their Facebook personality is something they don't want. The obiovus example is dating sites, but also simple things like blog comments are affected. Techcrunch had an article on how their comments "got better" after switching to Facebook Connect, but they also noted that there were much more positive comments, and far fewer negative ones, much less constructive criticism, because people don't want to appear negative in front of their Facebook friends. I think a lot of people care enough about anonymity or at least pseudonymity, so the more services that require you to have a Facebook account, the more fake accounts will be created. The more they tighten their grip, the more users will slip through their fingers...

  In real life you act different depending on the type of person you are talking to. You are basically someone else to the parent / teacher / friend / shopowner. Facebook wants you to always be the same person, and people realize how uncomfortable that actually is.
