As a user, I actually prefer Google's Oauth login precisely for lack of the underlying platform.

It lets the site confirm that I'm the Gmail account I say I am, and if I accidentally give it publishing permissions, it can shit all over my Google+ profile without anybody impacted. Giving a Facebook app publishing permission is a bigger hassle, so Facebook logins carry more cognitive load.
