OAuth doesn't have a monopoly on bearer tokens. And it is literally the definition of a bearer token: you shall know the messenger who presents this token, a concept old as history itself.

Should every OS which uses windows be able to call itself Windows, because windows are a quite old thing as well?

Like it or not, there is an rfc for this and using it for anything else would be code smell at best

I guess they should be able to call them windows.

Can you link to any tool which uses bearer tokens and doesn't grant them through oauth2?

Or it's internal, please explain how the token is obtained.

I haven't seen any to date but I guess I could be wrong
