You're assuming people use exclusively Apple devices. I'm assuming people have a mix like a Window machine at work or a Chromebook from school etc....

I can use Apple devices and still have the need to use non-apple devices so Apple's solution isn't helpful.



If you have enough Apple devices to set up and configure Sign In With Apple, and you're interested in using the account with non-Apple devices, then using the Reset Password process to have a password assigned to your account generally has not — in my experience — impacted Sign In With Apple, which simply continues to work regardless. I have been able to use this process to sign in across Apple and Windows and etc without difficulty.

What's uncertain here is whether each third-party will correctly handle this workflow. I can't decide if it's worked every time because I'm lucky or because there's a regulation somewhere in the Sign In With Apple terms that requires it. I respect that this uncertainty may not be acceptable to everyone.
