Shipping is easy. Shipping makes the product better. Shipping gets the customers and the funding and furthers the mission. You do what it takes to ship, to get the thing working, to do what you're burning to do, and the rest is details.
Taking the time to ensure you've thought through your authentication strategy and done your key management well does not directly do any of these. It feels like a waste of time by comparison. What does it matter? You'll fix it later. You don't need bullshit corporate malware endpoint management, you only hire good professionals.
