This is a topic I have seen often. I am not a developer so have no idea the effort it would take, or if it is even possible. I've also seen a lot of talk about Layer 2 and some other stuff. I just don't know enough to make a legit argument about any of it.

I don't think having 8 places to sign up is a development issue. It's a political issue. None of these groups want to work together to create a single unified, free, easy sign-up. They all want to be the one. So we get this mess, where we have multiple places to sign up, all of them confusing in some way, and no clear path for new people. End result is I imagine a lot of new people look at it, don't know which one to pick, and instantly decide it's not worth the effort and go somewhere else.
okay, I think I slightly misunderstood. apologies.
I think this is why I am so interested in the talk about making Hive a base layer token, then the apps build on top have their own token traded for Hive on Hive Engine or some other "exchange". At least I think that is how it is theorized to work. This is supposed to force competition and innovation. Hopefully improved user interface and ease of use comes with that.
But like I said, that is getting into more of the guts of things than I truly understand.
