IMHO, they haven't gained traction, because they have biased towards proprietary techniques and/or proprietary tooling. I think this is a step in the right direction, probably market signal guiding them now.
I find their floating circle thing a bit aggressive aesthetically.

Thanks Jeff.
We're updating the "button circle" shortly. Completely agree.
The reason why we built a coupled system was multi-fold – no one had lightning wallets when we started, and we wanted to make it easy. And having fast/seamless user flows isn't really possible without it given the state of the protocol (especially mobile). Now should you require an account – no, hence this launch. Are there benefits for it, yes. Are there cons, of course! We're just trying to provide the right options for folks.
Here are all the details.

You don't require logging in now with Ghost Checkout.

Yeah but you can’t sign up for it without those ID providers?

We have a few options which should work for majority of folks.
- Social accounts
- Email (where you can use a private email)
We're considering other options but aren't there yet.
- Lightning Login – but have concerns given for example wallet deprecations like Blue Wallet
- Other private key setups – similar concerns, along with fund safety/access issues.
What specifically are you looking for?

I’d like ideally to be able to sign in with something like MetaMask.

If you assume global usage in the long run, this kind of stuff will have to get bridged.
The "they will fight you" will come from a mix of state/big-tech/luddites/etc.
