Even then it's not necessary. It's straightforward enough to use OAuth on any platform.

In my experience, App Engine is mainly useful for in-house infrastructure apps for companies using the Google Apps platform. That or cheapskate developers throwing together a proof of concept / toy app in their spare time.

Even toy apps can be had for free on other platforms. Dotcloud, Heroku, and AppHarbor all don't charge for the first instance.
