It's for users who don't care if the mint gets randomly killed by the OS... 🤷‍♂️

OTOH mint owners I guess can use it to ensure some future cooperation in order to come online so they can be redeemed. Like giving someone a valid check that you must actively help to cash after work is done 🤷‍♂️

(Also fwiw, the OS shouldn't kill it unless it's a reboot or something, so this might be a fine repurposing of an old phone)

I still think it's weird 🤣
