There's this reason why Ben Awad uses social media OAuth for DogeHouse instead of making his own account system: it's that he can outsource a lot of things like security, abuse prevention, and things. He doesn't need to work on MFA/2fa etc, he just need to use an OAuth provider that have those stuff.

Yeah, exactly. We've gone past that stage. One major reason I adopted OAuth is because of its convenience for developers and users.
