Knowing both the team behind SSOReady and their product, I can tell you that this couldn't be further from the truth.

What a shameful thing to say — of course you want your own product to look good, but badnaming your competitors is not the way to go.

(Disclaimer, as I mentioned elsewhere, I am building Stack Auth, which is also on your list.)

"You can think of us as an open source alternative to products like Auth0 or WorkOS." from SSOReady's README: https://github.com/ssoready

Single dev in contributors graph: https://github.com/ssoready/ssoready/graphs/contributors

Pre-pivot startup called Okapi (YC W24): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39755927

You made it sound like it's a hobby project not ready for production — where do you see that in the README? Calling it a "WorkOS clone" because they mention it is an alternative also isn't fair — even if it solves the same problem! The fact that they previously worked on something else also doesn't work as an argument, not sure why you would present it as such.

Just be nice to each other, even when they're your competitors! It's not so hard.
