I'm not opposed to the support of any platform, so long that it is technically feasible in a relatively "sane" manner. Scratch does not seem have native support for the OAuth protocol, other than what appears to be a semi-official-but-not-too-official thing. This doesn't look ideal...
There would also need to be an incentive to support the extension module and keep it up to date; while Scratch doesn't appear to be a fast-moving platform compared to other ones such as Twitter, it will require some minimal maintenance which I may not be able to do: I don't use Scratch nor have enough free time to regularly check if the integration still works :/
If the OAuth support available turns out to be good enough and safe enough, and that someone is willing to work on it, why not. But I will probably not try and do it myself.
While Scratch may look like a children's programming platform at first, look closer and you'll find a large community of programmers looking to use the simple tools to make advanced projects. I've been getting into Scratch thanks to griffpatch, who is the number 1 Scratch submitter, and it really shows how many people use the site. Me myself, I use pronoundb, and getting into Scratch made me wonder if the integration was considered.
