Exactly! On the a.roomy.place there's a good, non-technical breakdown on what makes the concept good and what flaws it has, but the core of it is the concept of owning your own identity. The idea of "login with Google/Facebook" significantly reduces internet freedom, this gives you a way to "login as yourself", beyond the ownership of a company. That's the big boon here. With the IETF lending some credence to it now, it's a good sign that self-hosted identity for your public presence will be adopted into the mainstream and a less locked-down internet is on the horizon.
