How hard is it to implement email verification?

    But most oauth implementations use the user email as identifier so they get the email anyway

      All the smarter ones don’t because an email can change, your google account unique id will not, that’s the purpose of account IDs.

      I won’t deny that many people/websites probably do use email though. Which is bad. But I can’t deny that that probably is what is happening.
