I'm not criticizing BetterAuth here, but the idea that rolling your own auth is easy.
BetterAuth is likely an improvement against the status quo for many companies if they have already decided to roll their own auth, as it at least already provides pre-made blocks of functionality that are hopefully battle-hardened rather than building completely from scratch.
