Well that shows it's a pretty good observation ;)

How nice would it be if you could just use identity providers for the majority of sites (eg. register / login with twitter or facebook).

My mayor annoyance is sites asking for your data in return for access via the provider, eg. access to your list of contacts.

Just like some people don't mind paying for a password manager, I wouldn't mind paying for an identity provider that has no data to sell.
