What does the new OIDC system improve upon? (lemmy.ca)

I have been reading about the new OIDC system (since Element now has a QR code login). I can't seem to understand the purpose of it, as it seems that Matrix already has all of the features wanted, but more simple. Why would there need to be a new OIDC system, if signing in with services with Google or GitHub is already supported and configurable per homeserver? Why would regular user+password login need to be reimplemented, but now require a website to login instead of being able to login through something like a terminal?
