What's wrong with OpenID? We just implemented it on our new site and it works just great.
I suspect that many start=up sites just fail to notice it or feel they want more information about a user than they are guaranteed by the OpenID process. We request a new user's email address but can manage just fine without it - we also provide a user profile page where users can opt to add more details about themselves to "fill in the blanks".
