didn't mean to talk bad... nothing but respect for everyone involved in this project. my comment was very hasty -- and you're right I should have disclosed up front that I'm working on a product in a similar space.
Ory has been around for awhile, they're quite the gorilla in the identity space - It's a set of very large, and very impressive products that work well together. It is extremely powerful, flexible, and can handle almost any use case. I'd define "lighter" as being more opinionated in it's approach with fewer options - as a result it's less powerful and flexible. Also, w/ open source, comes setting up your own infra (even if that's now just throwing it in a cloud), which I'd consider "heavier". Imo, these terms don't mean something is worse than something else, just a fit for a different use case.
