Allow Google alias login instead of moving to Google account

I have a Google Account, but I use an alias for Fitbit. The alias is in the format "root.name+something" at gmail.com. Given that this is a valid address and directly linked to a Google account why should I have to migrate and possibly lose loads of data as reported elsewhere on this forum?
