Agreed. This is an argument to allow OAuth login.

It is not an argument to privilege any OAuth provider over others, or
any OAuth provider over no provider at all.

Likewise, I regularly give up because too much dependence is given to
Facebook, or GitHub, or etc. etc. etc.

Please don't make a new user's use of one service depend on them having
agreed to a specific unrelated corporation's terms of use.

They should be free to join whether or not they are a user of GitHub or
Facebook or Twitter or JoesOwnProvider or none of the above.
