Gmail will outlast kobo, barnes and noble, irex, and all the small companies that proliferate(d) the internet. But, that is just my opinion about the trash heap of civilization.

Single Sign-On/ OAUTH has outlived its usefulness outside of a corporate setting. It may have made sense for some at one time to Sign-In With Google or Sign-In With Facebook when everyone had weak passwords and were scrambling to remember them all. But with password managers freely available everywhere now, SSO causes more headaches than it solves. Just create a unique account for every website.
