"Sign in with Google" and "Continue with Facebook" provide companies with a wealth of customer data.
Provide Google and Facebook with data, the site will get the email address and little more. A business add it because the user is lazy, is incentivated to not create a new password and (wrongly) think to be more secure logging in via a third system.
What value does Get-ln provide?
With LN it can offer the same benefits without feeding these big corporations. People is starting to pay attention to privacy, could be a huge selling point.
asking retail end-users to pull out their phones every time they want to log in runs counter to that
Not every time, you can remember the user using standard cookies/season stuff and so offer a frictionless experience over the time

That little more may include your name, contacts, calendar, and payment options.
People is starting to pay attention to privacy
People are indeed becoming more aware of big data and privacy issues, but awareness doesn't always translate to action. For example, despite years of increasing awareness and calls to action around environmental sustainability, people on average are terrible at recycling.
could be a huge selling point.
Could is the key word here. I don't think it's a bad product, but I don't think the value proposition is strong enough yet.

This is excessively dramatic, data sharing is granular and 99,9% of implementations only ask access to the email. I'm not aware of the possibility of share payment options.

World is big and it is difficult to generalise, perhaps we have view on different scenarios.
