But actually I'm not mad that there are crypto options to login. I just think it is a fundamental mistake to think that "all other options are worst". You could even do cryptography based login without the blockchain part: it's called WebAuthn.

Impossible for "all other options are worst" when 99.99% of websites/apps don't allow Web3 login yet. I believe it's a KYC issue because if a wallet is anonymous, there are violations (in the US) to the Bank Secrecy law. Need KYC to transact.
KYC has nothing to do with that. Forgoing that you could actually voluntarily link your identity with a public address, KYC only affects financial institutions.
Your local delivery food app doesn't care about web3 login because it's way to unwieldy for most people and uncommon (yes, it's a catch 22)
At the risk of repeating myself, there is a cryptography system to have private keys to handle your login, without any central authority, and also without blockchain
Passkeys, or WebAuthn, or FIDO2 (they are the same thing), which is an *already available* standard, without the need of any extension
Yep, and I have authenticators sitting in front of me right now. Old YubiKey, old RSA SecurID tokens, and even CAC/PIV cards from decades ago. Sold $10M of MFA, keen on the topic.
When you sign in with your Passkeys, what's your display name?
To channel some Simon Sinek here, we're not even at the start of adoption of decentralized identity. Give it time. Still hiding the wires on MPC wallets.
Local delivery app can use Stripe and receive stablecoin payments, auto converted to USD. GrubHub will eventually.
All other options are still available, and have their own risks.
I prefer my private keys over email/password/2FA.
There is still an instance where some random company could UDRP your .com, and if they win, *poof*. GL with appeal. Your .com isn't protected by private keys.

Pairing a wallet would be nice though.

No indirect data about you required.
