People making new apps, why aren't you adding Pomegranate support?

1) I didn't know it existed (now you know);
2) I think it has a fatal flaw (please say what is it);
3) I am phisophically opposed to Google (Pomegranate supports other providers, and even no providers at all, it can even be made to support phone numbers, a single password, an email, a set of friends' keys, you name it, but none of that is active yet because there is not enough interest);
4) I think users have to be trained to type private keys everywhere;
5) I like Amber (I've heard this one before so I included it here even though it makes no sense).
I understand what you're saying and linking accounts sounds like a solution to this.

But, honestly, Pomegranate solves this already in a much more elegant and better way that doesn't come with death-inflicting tradeoffs:
