I don't see how they can use "blurred line" as a positive trait here. There are important differences between native apps and web apps, why hide this information from a regular user, especially when this information can be conveyed by 30 pixels.

It's a moved goal post which sneakily tries to position itself on top of the old adage "never roll your own crypto". Problem is, that adage is really about security whereas "don't roll your own auth" is about not wanting to do a mostly boring part of your job. I'd take my hat off if they'd admit it, but it's much easier to get budget with potential security scares compared to "we don't wanna".
If anyone wants to explore an open-source Meteor project in the wild, a kickstarted project named Pixel Art Academy[1] comes to my mind. Looking through the repo[2] takes me back to CoffeeScript days.
I find that these people feel lost when you tell them they'd be better off just being curious and learning by doing the thing itself. They tend to find comfort in systems like the belt system in martial arts. So, if you feel this way- it might be worthwhile to pick up a few certifications just for yourself.
