At work the tooling we use for our services outright requires OAuth if you want authentication. And yeah, that's a large factor implying we should use something else, but there are many coordination problems for that.

I imagine plenty of people have a similar problem.

Anyway, if your client is saving your password, then I'd say that's not a good use-case for OAuth. At this point I'm not sure there exist a good use-case for OAuth.
