@karlauerbach@sfba.social My guess is the former, plus marketing. Running a namespace, efficiently and securely, is hard, and you have to worry about things like lost password recovery. Better to outsource it to Google, who can do it much more cheaply. Sure, they profit, too, but what do you care if you're spared the expense?

@SteveBellovin@infosec.exchange @karlauerbach@sfba.social If I had to "sign in with Google" to read a website or use a service, I would simply stop. I'm delighted that here in Europe far few websites run JS associated with googletagmanager.
