You stopped me at " Just login and enter their credentials and they’re in" Providing credentials is at a cost. As you aptly point out in the rest of the post you will use those credentials in the future, and that's to the cost of us, the potential clients.

It's a cost to receive and manage any future email, and there is a risk that could get out of hand if a site passes on the email address to others.
