    I'm a bit baffled as to why people would be actively against SE expanding access to account security features. This would be a win on all sides except account hackers...
    His point was that Windows Phone users are a very small part of the market, and it's likely not worth the cost to make it for the system at this time.

    While it would be nice to have a token and the libre feature for Windows phone. Those market share numbers and growth are world wide.
    However Windows phone has almost no presence in Japan therefore it will not get developed (even if the market share quadrupled in the rest of the world).

    Unless they have changed tradition from all of their games and services online.
    It is JP 1st then the rest of the world. So it would not matter how popular Windows phone became until the JP start using it then it is a no go.

    Simple as that and it makes sense as this is a Japanese company. (Similar to what the US companies do (US first everyone else 2nd)).

    Its not expensive to create a WP app. There are actually MSFT tools that will port your android or iOS code to a WP friendly format, plus WP uses HTML5 for apps as well, and just about any code jockey could make an HTML5 app for this in hours since SE would have the API already.
