Still can't wrap my head around that TS does not allow to signup with your custom email/password combination but forces you to use bigtech (GitHub, Apple, Meta etc.) to login. Running your custom OIDC provider as a small, private person does not make any sense either.

For a single user, email signup is easy. But if they were to offer it they would also need to offer it to business customers. That means they have to build a role system and link that to AD etc. That is why they don't have it. (Their CEO discusses this in a recent interview).
