No alternative if the people you want to reach, or want to be reached by, are available only on a specific, closed platform.

It's a pick your poison type of situation I think. I personally run FOSS where I can, and compartmentalize the environment where I can't but I still want the benefits.

I guess that’s what I’m getting at. Like this is for work, my company has dictated that we do SSO into the desktop app. I was wondering if there was something I was missing besides the browser version.

But for personal use- totally makes sense
