  Possibly because once you authenticate the token is kept forever unlike cookies which get deleted and such. In either case I'm not sure I like the idea of a persistent token that can be tied back to the user 1 to 1 installed via a browser extension that has (pretty much) unlimited access to the browser and session data, I'll be having a close look at the plugins when this becomes a thing.
