And here is where Django and RoR shine. With their very rich, and above all, well integrated ecosystem, we have had plugins to do all this with a few settings for years. That's where "libs over frameworks" doesn't pay. And you don't have to delegate your sign in to a third party, share user data, get locked in, or have all the problems associated with having some part of your stack as a service, micro or not.

It’s more complicated than that. Delegating identity to another party also delegates some amount of risk to them. It allows you to focus on trusting the identity and not worrying as much about someone stealing credentials etc. Also presumably that other party has a security team constantly monitoring and securing things.
