I think the real issue is the "Visible" checkmark. "If this option is not 
selected, users will not be presented with the provider as an option to 
authenticate with on the login screen, but manual authentication using the 
correct link is still possible."

By default, this option is unchecked. As it's not mentioned in the 
documentation (like most other options on the screen) - I initially skipped 
over it.

It's hard to comprehend why this option would even be provided, I mean to 
allow some "manual authentication using the correct link", when a 3rd party 
OAuth pretty much means to everyone having a button on the screen that says 
"Login with Google" (is the idea behind the option is to build a custom 
"Login with Google" button?) ... but anyway. The documentation is in a bad 
need of fixing - tell the people to check the "visible" option!
