You have not read the guideline carefully or have misinterpreted it; nothing in it locks the end-user into Apple's ecosystem. The requirement is only that if the app uses a third-party authentication system (Facebook, Google, etc.), it must also offer Sign In with Apple alongside it.

You're free to roll your own sign-in system, in which case you are not required to offer Sign In with Apple.

Not seeing a problem here.

sign in with apple locks you into apple's caprices, there is no way around that. Apple will know where you 're signing in , and you will lose access to your account if apple decides they no longer like the app, or they no longer like you.
