This was OpenID, which lets you choose your third-party provider at will, or even self-host.

It's mostly dead now. People wanted the convenience of FB/GOOG/TWIT over the freedom of self-hosting.

But everybody just uses some library for that stuff, I wonder why there aren't visible "Log In with [list of 80 OpenAuth providers]" sites or services.

The issue is UX: I’d much prefer a widget that had three or four common providers and then an advanced mode that lets me pick an alternative
