There is a trust component for sure, but a business requires assessing the value of time against revenue. I can say for our org that using an off the shelf solution like Clerk saves us time and money and we believe the risk is very small relative to the savings. Maybe the cost for you is not large right now, but when you've got 20 enterprise customers all asking for specific OIDC integrations configured with Private Link, custom domains, and private clusters, an auth solution starts looking mighty fine.
