Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

This was thrown around a couple of weeks before the Reddit migration really kicked off, it appears to be excessively difficult to code. And it also doesn't really fit with the system that Lemmy runs. It's a great idea, but Ive been lead to believe that it is too difficult to create Although people do feel that account transfer would be a nice feature
