Visvanath,
Have you ever tried to get 5 year olds - who don't speak the same language and some who cannot even read - to login to a computer with a username and password?
If you did you would change your tune really quick!!! Just a heads up, it can take upwards of 30 minutes just to get everyone logged in to the computers and then logged in again to Moodle.

Then try getting 25-30 of them to do so at the same time. It's pure chaos. This is our life. We live and breathe it every day. We see the kids frustration. We see the teacher frazzled. We also see what role technology plays in our schools and the benefits of having a real LMS like Moodle and not a cheap substitute like G Classroom.
Google and Oauth2 has provided much needed relief for our users. It's not everything but it is part of the puzzle in making Moodle more appealing to attract teacher investment in using it. Making Moodle easier to use, increasing value adds for teachers and students, providing robust teaching and learning opportunities, and most of all... supporting and advocating for the open source community is what we are about.
Not everything Google does is inherently evil. There needs to be balance for everything.
