In reply to Khürt Williams.

I also found it disconcerting that the review didn't mention anything about privacy and instead said that having to log into an external account is an "of course" with no further ado. We have never used a single plugin that requires logging in to anything within the plugin, so it was a surprise for us that it would be required for anything.

If there's a line that a plugin crosses after which having to log in to an external service transforms from "of course not" into a requirement, that line should be mentioned. E.g. "Due to ... the plugin requires logging in to ... to use."
