If you're a SaaS vendor, you want to make onboarding and logging in as easy as possible and being able to do things like add a "login with google/apple" button or other third party SAML/SSO tooling is one way to do that. Supporting that workflow sucks as it can involve very finicky integrations involving certificate trusts, etc.

SAML/SSO is indeed finicky, but the problematic part (mapping attributes) is often done by IT teams, ESPECIALLY if you use a third-party provider.
