While I generally agree with your comment, a lot of people actually use it because they don't use a password manager and it's more convenient then.
One additional benefit to having OAuth2 support though is that you can easily set up SSO if needed (and you don't care about SAML or other SSO protocols). For me personally this will be useful for an NGO that I'm running where we have Google Workspace effectively serving as a Single Sign On server.
Yea, I'm not ragging on the parent for the choice they made. There's a lot of services it's just not worth the effort, and many people do find oauth2 to work just fine.
