OpenID Connect, aka OIDC, has basically nothing to do with the original OpenID protocol beyond the name, right?
(It's taken me nearly a decade to figure that out)

correct. More details here: https://indieweb.org/How_is_IndieAuth_different_from_OpenID_Connect

It's also about to get a lot more confusing since there's a lot of Verifiable Credentials work being done in the OpenID Connect name too.

  Technically, if you squint hard enough, you can make the OpenID Connect spec today work like OpenID 1. But in practice nobody does that, and it's not like any current OIDC implementation would magically be interoperable with something that works that way.
