One technical reason why the ID Selector is centralized is because the
ID Selector will auto-fill forms on sites a user has never visited. If
you've visited one RP using the ID Selector, your openid will be
auto-filled when you visit any other new RP (provided that the new RP
is using the ID Selector).
