I dislike that intensely as well. I don't have any trouble with sites offering magic link login, but to have that be the only option seems short sighted to me.
I worked at a company once that only offered federated login. It was a dev tool, so they offered login with google or github. I disliked it, because, hey, maybe I don't want to link random devtool with the core accounts I use.
I'm not aware of any research that shows what the conversion rate is for each type of login:
* username/password
* magic link
* federation (login with google, etc)
But I'd sure love to see it.
I imagine it would also vary by application type (devtools would be skewed towards username/password, consumer towards federated login or magic link) as well.
