Think about how it looks:
I make an account and assign an email to it, meaning to only thing I give out is an email address for people to mail stuff to (that I can block if there's anything annoying).
vs
I create an account using my facebook/google/twitter as a springboard, meaning I have to give a third party my username and password to those sites in order to use theirs. No thanks.
It doesn't matter if you really don't have access to what I enter in, the fact is that it'll always look like it. It's the easiest way to con people of their personal info, and should be the first thing a person should think about in regards to internet safety.
