There is a reason for it. For the general user the value of SSO with Matrix is pretty low. You still need your encryption keys to read encrypted rooms (and direct messages) and those aren't on the SSO server.
It still means one less login/password pair though, lower barrier to entry for the existing community members
Also if opensuse hosts opensuse rooms on own server but uses federation then people do not need to re-register in the first place because they can access the rooms from whatever homeserver they happened to be registered with. And if one homeserver splits in two that block each other that does not affect the ability of people on either to access the opensuse rooms. Then there is not much point in taking over a home server in the first place and it is much less likely for such situation to evolve.
I agree, still, I don't want to recommend people sign up with something we don't run for quite obvious reasons ;) LCP [Sasi] https://lcp.world
