Exactly what is so undesirable about including an option to turn off sync completely unless the Bitcoin app intent has onscreen focus?
This is clearly a sought-after feature for numerous reasons, including battery life. Just briefly outline the consequence of not having a frequently updated blockchain. I don't even mind if you refuse to provide support for people with sync turned off.
It's the only reason I do not have this app installed.

At least one altcoin fork has had this feature (plus a disconnect button!) from the beginning, and it works just fine. It's clear that there's no real reason why it can't exist other than developer arrogance.
I'm honestly undecided on my favorite part of the thread. Is it the developer autistically responding to the wording of a user's comment while completely missing the point, or the part where the app used 60% battery with background data disabled, or the simple fact that the developer literally cannot understand how a user might be willing to accept the tradeoff of no sync?
