Description
Currently, in numerous places we suggest awaiting `auth.getClient()` rather than directly passing `GoogleAuth`:
- https://googleapis.dev/nodejs/googleapis/latest/sheets/
- https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client/blob/main/samples/jwt.js
`GoogleAuth` has been supported as an `auth` param for a while now:
- https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-nodejs-client/pull/2210
We should update our documentation to simplify and reduce complexity.
