And those situations exist why? because Google and Facebook make a mint knowing more about YOU - the product.

But twitter, GitHub, Discord, Apple and others don't and exist too. It's an easy thing to provide.

Do those platforms offer centralized authentication? And - is it open to anyone to use? i.e. could ML choose to use Apple's APIs to do authentication?

Yes, very common. We have hooks for many (not apple I don't think) available but it's a pain to maintain as they are third party and is it really valuable?

Some sites that I use offer Apple for sure. I see it all the time.

Is it valuable? I'd love the ability to use everything off my MS account - so yes, I think so.

But a websites need to support dozens or more "centralized" or as the stupid video puts it - decentralized - authentication providers would definitely be a PITA for them.
