Trivial? There's nothing trivial about removing a secure way to log in. It was a stupid decision. It was a royal pain in the ass to get an account set up on id.me too.

ID.me is far more secure than Sign in with (Third Party Provider). Guaranteed. I fail to see how this is a bad thing. You're just complaining to complain at this point, honestly.
 
Why wouldn’t a hide my email address work? It’s just a randomly generated iCloud email address.
I thought this also, untill i didn't.

Yesterday i needed to create a login to one site here in Sweden, carinfo.se, and i used Apple login and hide my mail.
The site didnt't approved that, and said that this is not a real mail, its a fake, and i have to use a real mail.
So my experience is that the hide my own mail on Apple always don't work.
I dont know why it wouldn't work.

No social media company acts as a gatekeeper to someone's world out of the goodness of its heart.
Any “services” you don’t pay for means you / your data is the product.

Google, all (anti)social media — FaceCrook, TikTok and all the others — are living large on collecting as much of your data as they can. Let’s not forget Amazon, WalMart and all the other on-line & brick&mortar retailers.

It’s unfortunate that some corporations are determined to gather and sell customer data. It’s getting harder to avoid it.

I just saw a story about Home Depot using facial recognition on self checkouts to identify customers. This way they can match your face to all of your credit or debit cards. If Home Depot is doing it, I would bet a month salary that Walmart has been doing it for years now
