The printing service example in the introduction (just after the list of disadvantages of the client-server authentication model) comes somewhat as a surprise.

With OAuth, an end-user (resource owner) can grant a printing
service (client) access to their protected photos stored at a photo-
sharing service (resource server), without sharing their username and
password with the printing service. Instead, they authenticate
directly with a server trusted by the photo-sharing service
(authorization server), which issues the printing service delegation-
specific credentials (access token).

I guess this could easily be fixed by adding a "For example, ".
