(I have millions of these over time simply because it's how iOS works.)

What's in support of this question is Chris just now made up the absurd
excuse that he doesn't know what his password is, so, to him, that negates everything in Apple's own documentation about tokens expiring.

That wasn't the only excuse for denying Apple's own documented tokenization mechanisms in that post, because Chris echoed the same absurd Alan Baker
excuse that I need to provide a screenshot for every day in my life that
this happens. Many times a day. Usually right after I open the iPad.

Note that would be every day, all day, since it's actually how iOS works.

The question in this thread is:
Q: Why do zealots fabricate inane excuses for Apple's documented behavior?
A: ?

We know they do.
The question is why they do that.

Given they did it, it forces us to respond to refute their inane excuses.

For example, the requested screenshots that Chris asks for which proves it happened yesterday and today. Does he really need it for every day forward?

First note that it doesn't just pop up once, and it doesn't accept the
refusal just once. There are many prompts. A video would show it.

Also note, only Apple 'bricks' the device (over time) if you refuse to
re-enter passwords for accounts that you never logged out of.

But the question here is why do the zealots feel the need to deny
everything they don't like about Apple using the first inane excuse that
they can think of?

For the zealots to claim it doesn't happen to them is even wrong, since it happens to everyone on iOS but they just glibly enter the password when
asked.

Me? I am different than most iOS users in that I strive to understand how
the system works, so I don't enter the password when Apple asks me to do
so. And "everything works fine". For a while anyway.

Eventually Apple 'bricks' the device (i.e., Activation Lock), which no
other operating system does.

I think perhaps the reason the zealots try to deny how iOS works is maybe
they dislike that only Apple is this Draconian in how its ecosystem works.

But I don't know WHY the zealots fabricate inane excuses for Apple's
documented behavior?

Do you?

As a further datapoint, Tyrone posted in the thread below that iOS can't possibly work the way iOS is documented to work because he doesn't remember
it doing that.

From Tyrone:
"That has NEVER happened to me. Ever. On ANY of my many iOS devices.
Over MANY years. Do you understand that?
I strongly suspect that you are a lying piece of shit."

It doesn't occur to Tyrone that his memory of how his iOS device works is
not necessarily the definitive test of how every other iOS device works.
From Tyrone:
"I have everything enabled on about 16 active devices. I have NEVER
been randomly prompted to enter my password."

For him, the fact he's oblivious of how iOS works means, to him, that it doesn't work the way Apple documents it to work.

From Tyrone:
"I now have - collected over many years - 4 iPhones (5, 8+, 12 Pro Max,
16 Pro Max), 4 iPod Touch 7s and 13 various model iPads. NONE have
EVER asked me to login for no reason. Only when I am downloading
something from the App Store. etc.

As always, he is full of shit."

What kind of strange person says that anyone who says the truth
about how iOS is documented to work, is a liar and a piece of shit?

Given these zealots don't act like normal people, the question remains:
