It’s easier to revoke access of a specific app without interrupting the

Most people have no clue about how OAuth2 works.


Correct. And they don’t have to. Just like most people don’t know how IMAP,
SMTP or MIME works — still they use email.

Data of actual normal users (and the abuse we see) suggests otherwise.

And I guess people also argued that filling up a car with petrol gets in
the way of working practices they’ve been using for 100 years…
