There's a huge difference between access to geolocation or camera because

- the security prompt is possible to understand by mere mortals

Mobile device based authentication and payments do not have this problem because such applications only exposes high-level operations like: https://cyberphone.github.io/doc/saturn/ui-demo/personalpaymentterminal.html
