Yeah, they get a lot of flak for that from HN. Doesn't bother me personally, but I can see why it would be a dealbreaker for some people. On the other hand, I sympathize with their decision to just not have to worry about storing passwords, account recovery, and all the associated headaches, because I hate those headaches too.
My guess is they will eventually add a sign-up-with-email option, but it's pretty far from the top of their priority list.

I use Github and i have no problem there, but i didn't want some snafu on my account (Github) to somehow block my home network access. So i just signed up with an alternate Github "Identity" account to use with Tailscale. Still feels weird, but we'll see how it goes.
