If I share my email with tailscale that's sharing data between me and them, no third party involved.
If I use an OAuth integration I'm involving a third party
Some people use a third party email provider, but chances are they aren't supported (even if your mail provider offers oauth integration) -- the only support is with Google and Microsoft
Now that aside, I support the idea of tailscale not creating its own identify provider. BYOI is far better than yet another supplier to leak information and yet another password to manage.
If I were interested in integration with my company's SSO, I'm sure they'd be able to support our OAuth endpoint.
For personal use, chances are you have an identity with one of the providers, and the information leaking to that provider (that you use tailscale) is minimal and seems like a good solution.
