That's an opinion, not always true for everyone. I love Keycloak, but I've seen several large enterprises trial it and give up due to complexity at their particular scale. I've seen bigger orgs use it successfully in a simpler tech landscape.
Regardless, this is a solution for your application that doesn't require running something like Keycloak. If I was developing an application I'd be looking at this, Auth0 or WorkOS to get the features my customers are demanding. (SSO/SAML/OAUTH mostly). Keycloak does the opposite, as a business I could deploy Keyclock to be my SAML IDP, but still need my applications to support SAML.
