You have to stay logged in for the App Store, or you need to login each time. The point is I only want to be logged in for one purpose (the store), I don’t need all devices I’m logged into be syncing and taking my calls. I understand now this behavior can be changed but I had no idea this was even a feature. My stance is that this should not be the default setting the same as the thread creator doesn’t appreciate books offloading to iCloud by default to be a helpful feature. It’s the default option of these types of things that can inadvertently lead to privacy issues or issues where data you expected to be there when you need it not being there.
If your family uses your iPad, you can create a new Apple ID and then use the "Family Sharing" feature to get access to apps bought with your main account.
This is what my wife and I do, and will do for our kids when they're old enough to have a device like that. One purchase, shared by the household. Much simpler than manually logging in or having your credentials used by others.
