Could there be use cases where you want to run inference for users in your app, but don't want to host your own backend, user authentication, and billing?
The user could log into his personal OpenRouter account, authorize your application, and optionally set a budget, all in something like a Stripe payment screen.

Good point, just needs an user friendly flow to sign up and set the budget in a way that is more similar to Stripe checkout than regular account creation.
