Why? You only need a login to your home instance. Federating the content is done by your instance. So why the need for a "global login button"?
The pain point is if someone sends you a link to a post on a different instance you kind of have to jump through a hoop to interact with it
There are plugins to fix that. However, I dislike that approach, but it's all we have at the moment and it works.
I got into a link posted somewhere in a post that took me to wikipedia's mastodon but I'm registered on mastodon.world. And this has not been a single instance, happened plenty of times with other lemmy instances.
