The dev has to create a fair bit of additional infra if they provide username/password auth * bot prevention * same user creating multiple accounts (so now you need some IP tracking or reputation system maybe) Which is why I think sign in with Google is okay to start with for indie devs. It's understandable if you as a user don't like it though but shouldn't be a criteria to dismiss Show HN imo
