I personally avoid to do it, but that's not the point.
Every other third party allows account recovery by mail : if you want to stop using FB or Google's SSO, you can ask the website to send you a mail to prove the account ownership.
If Apple's SSO stopped working (because Apple stopped it, banned you, because you dont have Apple devices anymore so you are locked out of their proprietary 2FA), none of those websites could send you a recovery email.

I don't feel like I've been insulting, so please don't be either.
