why can't we have federated identity ?
Why can’t we have federated identity to login into fediverse instead of creating login for each instance?

I attended a talk in 2019 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee on Solid, which sort of seems related to what you are getting at. The idea being that you own your data/identity, and can decide to share it with third parties. It goes over things like files, but I believe login identities were also meant to be part of it, I see when I scroll down:
authenticated by a decentralized extension of OpenID Connect
I've been wondering recently, especially with Pixelfed adding login with Mastodon recently, if anyone has heard or experienced anything with that project. But considering I haven't seen it spoken about or implemented since then, I'm not sure I should be hopeful
