That creates a chicken-and-egg problem: browsers won't adopt it unless it's popular. It won't be popular unless browsers adopt it.
Chicken-and-egg problems create usually-insurmountable barriers to adoption.
That hasn't been true for years. Browser vendors are pushing new features that they want or think will be helpful. Here are some examples: https://github.com/WebKit/explainers
See also all the Twitter threads of people getting angry that Chrome implements something before it's standardized. -

If login were automated like credit card forms, it would fail about 50% of the time and need me to enter a page full of unnecessary personal information by hand. That’s not a good model.
Why not let me enter an email address instead? That has a domain in it.
Why is entering an email address less work than entering a URL? What I'm saying is browsers could have an "account chooser" UI to save a URL and enter it in the login field. -

Neat! Seems to still have the URL pasting problem though. How is that UX different from openid, which users didn’t like?
That problem can only be solved by browsers.
Right now, most of the time the browser autocompletes my URL because I've entered it enough, so I'm not actually typing it out. With any amount of thought, browsers could automate that just like credit card payment forms. -

Have you considered using IndieAuth (https://indieauth.spec.indieweb.org) which does the same now?
I’ve implemented it on my personal site (https://github.com/shurcooL/home/issues/34) and I’m very happy with it. Especially during GitHub outages.
Here's some background on why this solves the particular problem you're talking about in this thread: https://aaronparecki.com/2018/07/07/7/oauth-for-the-open-web -

First mistake was letting him reach you on iMessage. I have a canned response for these. On Facebook it’s an auto responder directing you to publicly post your question on the page. 75% can’t be bothered to copy/paste their question. Guess they didn’t really want an answer.
This is good advice. The iMessage/DMs/emails are already starting for me and I'd like to have a better solution for managing this. I guess the question is where to send people, creating my own forum/discord seems like overkill.
