But more importantly- mobile phones already have good security mechanisms. It's like all these shitty apps copied web based auth mechanisms with timeouts when they could do something better (and probably are built on web technologies with cookies instead of using the trusted store on the phone).
There are precious few apps out there that tell you ahead of time that reauth is happening (Zoom does this - kudos). But even so - I don't think it's necessary most of the time.
Early mobile is littered with dead operating systems. not really that surprising. PalmOS, Symbian, SaveJE, windows mobile, etc. not worth crying over.
