I understand the gist of the article but am strongly opposed to this sort of clickbait title.

For most use-cases it may make sense to use an external auth service, but there are also many cases where using an internal with system is preferable - even just the fact that you're not at the mercy of an external service and its subscription fees is justification enough.

Stop trying to convince everyone else that just because a certain rationale makes sense in your context, it should also be followed by everyone else.
