I think the idea of an MVP is to create something that works, not something with all the bells and whistles

If the idea is to make an MVP then GitHub auth would have been less work. Creating a registration and login system is far more work than implementing a basic OAuth flow, especially if you can use something like Auth0.

If you're using Rails it's just one gem and some bootstrap signup forms. I guess it also depends on the experience and skills of the developer.
