why aren't siwe and siwf ubiquitous in auth solutions? by now I would have expected at least siwe to be everywhere as a plug-and-play adapter/provider, but it can only be found in an old nextauth tutorial for a custom implementation

leaving aside cloud-hosted services like privy and dynamic, rainbowkit locks you into nextauth. connectkit might be more flexible, I'm not sure.

my question is: if I go to the docs of open source self-hosted solutions like [betterauth / openauth / nextauth] why do I see little to no mention—let alone plug-and-play adaptors—for siwe, when decentralized identity is one of ethereum's main value prop?

Official siwe docs haven't been updated but generally speaking it's there in most wallet connector style libs

Rainbowkit has it, privy has it, pretty sure dynamic does too
