  Right, but using OAuth doesn't mean using Google, Microsoft or Facebook for everything. It's common cause it's convenient, but has issues like you say. Someone running a Discourse forum could very well run say Ory[1] to have their own OAuth2 authentication service, if they wanted. Hopefully things like this will get a bit tighter integrated than it currently is.
