There is a backlash around it. https://sso.tax https://sso.tax is a perfect example that I'm sure you're aware of. But there are two major ways to look at this:
#1 - From a builders perspective, you've got to figure out what features (security or otherwise) that cost you extra and charge accordingly. In the old days SAML was one of those features was legitimately expensive to implement. Now keep in mind that not everything that costs you extra people will necessarily want to pay for.
#2 - From the sales perspective, what are features that people are willing to pay more for. SSO is something that is more and more frequently a business requirement. You want slack? Require SSO? Well you're paying for Business+ at $12.50/mo/user rather than Pro at $6.67/mo/user... even if you care about nothing else that comes in the Business+ plan.
As a Security/IT person, I absolutely hate that features I consider to be "required" (like SSO and APIs) are extra costs when we're the customers. The best I (and others like us can do) is convince our businesses those items should be part of the default feature set and not charged extra for.
