I’m embarrassed to admit but I’ve spent far too much time reading the minutiae of OAuth2 and OpenID and failing to grasp the big picture until now. This was really well done.

End of the day, an Oauth2 user is just an user admin that creates a child user account for each app, with restricted permissions. Then the app logins with "their" username (client ID) and password (client secret).
