It applies to the entire IT industry. It's deeper than UI/UX design, it's all this extremely condescending bullshit about never ever letting the user take their own responsibility for anything at all. Just today I googled how do I disable Apple's annoying "your password is required to enable touch ID" on macOS, not the one after reboot (that's understandable), but the one that seems to be based purely on time. The answer seems to be "you can't". The closest thing I found is the "bioutil" command that allows you to reduce that timeout but not increase it. I may try reverse engineering it to see where that check for maximum value is implemented, and if I can call the underlying API directly to bypass it.
