Your comment has a bit of an inexperienced smell. Business auth infinitely more complex than saving a user and salting/hashing his password.

The pattern is that your comment is very far from reality.

My point is that people mess up things as basic as salt and pepper, or encryption at rest. People are not even trying...

If we deal with the intricacies of rbac, abac, acl mixed with scopes ,sso, saml, oidc, mfa, etc... I don't find these too conceptually, complex.

I mean, it should be avoidable complexity. Most of the complexity is technical debt, bad implementations etc. But by itself it is not THAT complex.
