The load_current_user middleware runs on every request because of 1:1 migration from the original Python version.

We could have used custom extractors instead of middleware, which would enable us to only attempt to retrieve the currently logged in user on endpoints that require it.

The axum_login crate could potentially provide more comprehensive auth utilities.
