Some have tried working on this. Authentik even developed a hack to make it work with HomeAssistant. Unfortunately the core devs of HomeAssistant have historically viewed external auth as a niche feature that users don’t care about.[1] Not sure if that is still the case, but until that mentality changes we are stuck with native auth because PRs are just going to get denied.
I think this post pretty much sums it up:

Don’t forget the 20% mandatory gratuity!
