This is one of the major pain points in WordPress, different plugins support different social login plugins, then hell breaks lose if you need to have certain plugins integrated with your WordPress site and each plugin only supports a certain social login plugin, so you end up needing to make major compromises.
I don’t know how to reach the WordPress core team, but they need to make social logins as part of the WorsPress Core.
It is a nightmare now, not only to ensure certain plugins work together but even the set up to make social login happen, is a pain in the behind.
They also need to tell us what we will need to exclude from cache or what cookies we need to bypass and how to make it work with Cloudflare, because any serious business these days needs Cloudflare.
Come on now. They need to drop everything they are doing and work on social login integration so that membership plugins and commenting plugins and tables plugins and forms plugins and woocommerce can all work in harmony together in a Unified Way.
I just cannot believe some of the stuff they are investing time in while ignoring a huge benefit that will take WordPress to the next level.

I completely agree with you. I have run into disasters multiple times, trying to have certain plugins work together only to find out, they support different social login plugins.
This is a High Critical Task they need to work on.
They do need to drop everything they are doing and work on social login as part of WordPress core so that all the different plugins can work together.
As much as WordPress is a plugins community, they have done a lousy job on achieving its full potential because different social logins only work with certain plugins and there is no unification as you stated.
I remember, trying to have a Commenting plugin which did not support the GiveWP login.
Also I do a lot of work with highly complicated tables and charts where I let users edit their work on the front end and because there is no social login integration, a lot of people are very reluctant to sign in with YET another user name and password.
I am going to try to reach the WordPress core team.
I am also surprised that not more people have complained. But truly to leverage the beauty of WordPress you really need social login integrated with the fore WordPress. I would even take it one step and say single sign on as well because a lot of enterprise customers are now leveraging WordPress.
I worked for a federal agency and they wanted single sign on, I had to use Mini Oranges products because they do a decent job.
But all this should fall on WordPress Core because authorization and authentication is really the very very basic of any solution.
Come on Now.
