Most likely

Organizations not adopting OAuth 2.0 will face increased friction and security vulnerabilities when accessing Google APIs.

If things move faster

Successful adaptation of OAuth 2.0 will streamline operations, leading to a 30% reduction in development time and enhanced user satisfaction.

If the signal weakens

High entry barriers and complexity in implementation could deter adoption, potentially resulting in stagnation in API usage growth.
