Most components need to depend on an auth service, right? I don’t think that means it’s all necessarily one service (does all of Google Cloud Platform or AWS need to be a single service)?

That's immediately what I thought of. You'll never be able to satisfy this rule when every service has lines pointing to auth.

You'll probably also have lines pointing to your storage service or database even if the data is isolated between them. You could have them all be separate but that's a waste when you can leverage say a big ceph cluster.
