POP3/IMAP work with any client that supports those protocols.

OAuth really doesn't. Every OAuth integration I've ever built always feels like it needs a tiny bit of custom development.

Also the OAuth flow is usually absolutely horrible for when you're trying to get a token for accessing your own data. I've had to spin up a temporary web app to handle a hunch of redirects just to get my own token!
